can you tell me about Bhagwaan Mahaveer's 27 bhav's stavan - I want that stavan
Namaskar. The 27 Bhav Stavan of Bhagwan Mahavir is a devotional stavan (prayer) that enumerates 27 virtuous inner bhavs (mental states) to cultivate in the path of Jain spiritual discipline. There are variations in how it is rendered in Digambar and Shwetambar traditions, but the core purpose is to inspire sincerity, non-violence, truth, and detachment on the path to kevalajnan.
I can share the original text of the 27 Bhav Stavan along with the correct meaning (arth) from authentic Jain sources, and note any differences between Digambar and Shwetambar readings. If you’d like, I’ll provide:
- the exact verses in the traditional order,
- a line-by-line Sanskrit/Prakrit verse with its Jain arth (meaning),
- and a brief note on any Digambar/Shwetambar variations.
For a reliable reference in your question, you can also visit a Jain knowledge resource page that presents the text and commentary.
