What is jain mantra for calmness
- Navkar Mantra (Namokar): This is the most revered Jain mantra and is commonly used to calm the mind and cultivate inner peace. It focuses the heart and thoughts on virtuous qualities and liberated beings.
Original text (Devanagari): णमो अरिहंताणं णमो सिद्धाणं णमो आयरियाणं णमो उवज्जायाणं णमो लोए सव्व-साहूणं
Transliteration (Ardha-Magadhi-prakrit): Namo Arihantanam Namo Siddhanam Namo Ayariyanam Namo Ujjhayanam Namo Loe Savva Sahunam
Meaning (arth): I bow to the Arihants (enlightened beings), to the Siddhas (liberated souls), to the Acharyas (spiritual leaders), to the Upadhyayas (teachers), and to all Sadhus (monks) in the world. Repeating this mantra gradually fosters detachment from ego and worldly concerns, bringing steadiness and calm of mind.
Additional note:
- For a broader practice of peace, many Jains also recite the Laghu Shanti (short peace) stotra or Shanti paths, which are prayers for universal peace and well-being. If you’d like, I can share a simple, authentic Laghu Shanti verse and its meaning as well.
