“Chintamani Maari Chinta Chur” is a popular Jain stavan (devotional hymn) in Gujarati, sung with bhakti to Bhagwan Parshwanath as “Chintamani” (the wish-fulfilling jewel), and lovingly remembering Shankheshwar Dada. It prays for the removal of worries and for inner purity through right faith and devotion.

Short opening (for bhav) “Aani shudh man aastha, dev juharu shashwata… Parasnath man-vanchit pur, Chintamani maari chinta chur; Shankheshwar Dada maari chinta chur…”

Simple arth (meaning)

• We bow with a pure, faithful mind to the eternal Lord; O Parshwanath, fulfiller of true, spiritual aspirations—please dissolve our anxieties.
• Your eyes are as tender as lotus petals; just by beholding Your face, sorrows go far away.
• May our mind remain absorbed in You alone; may salutations rise like the morning sun, bringing auspiciousness.
• O true Lord of Shankheshwar, turn back our inauspicious karmas; You are ever-present before us.
• Whoever holds this stavan in the heart finds their works accomplished on the right path; ailments and afflictions fade by Your grace.
• My love is fixed on You alone; bestow noble brilliance and protective strength to walk the path of dharma.
• Across births may I serve Your feet, O Chintamani Arihant Dev; Your virtues are sung as abundantly as “Samay Sunder” describes.

Tradition note

• This is a stavan of bhakti (devotional) tradition, widely sung in the Shwetambar community in connection with Shri Shankheshwar Parshwanath and other Chintamani Parshwanath derasars. The core bhav is acceptable to all who revere Parshwanath Bhagwan. It is not a canonical Agamic sutra, but a devotional hymn used in satsang, aarti, and pujan.

How to use

• Sing slowly with focused samyak-shraddha (right faith).
• Reflect that “chinta-chhur” means cutting the knots of anxiety born from mohaniya karma, leading to shanti and dharma-pravritti (turning towards dharma).
• Best times: after Snatra/pujan, during Parshwanath bhakti, or daily prarthana.
