    Navjat chant after ekasna

    12 months ago 56

    Navjat chant after ekasana typically refers to chanting the Navkar Mantra (Namokar Mantra) after taking a boiled-water-based ekasana. This is a common practice to show reverence to the Arihants, Siddhas, and lineage before resuming the day’s activity.

    Original text (Navkar Mantra): - नमो अरिहंताणं - नमो सिद्धाणं - नमो आयरियाणं - नमो उवज्झायाणं - नमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं - एसो पंच णमोकारो - सव्वपावप्पणासणो - मंगलाणं च सव्वेसिं, पढमं हवइ मंगलं

    Meaning (arth) in brief: - I bow to the Arihants (enlightened beings), to the Siddhas (liberated souls), to the Ayogis/Ahiriyans (teachers), to the Upadhyayas (spiritual guides), and to all the Sadhus. - This fivefold salutation removes all sins; these are the auspicious fivefold salutations, the foremost good.

    Notes on tradition: - The Navkar Mantra is central in both Digambar and Shwetambar traditions. The practice of reciting it after ekasana (and also before/after taking water) is widely followed, though minor wording or sequence may vary by local custom. The essential meaning and reverence remain the same.
