    Nav smaran mala

    12 months ago 154

    Nav Smaran Mala refers to the group of nine auspicious remembrance prayers (smaranas) that many Shvetambar Jains recite regularly. The tradition considers these nine to be especially sacred and commonly used in daily puja and temple rites. In Digambar traditions, the main set of nav-smaranas is generally not treated as a single fixed group in the same way, so the emphasis and exact list can differ a bit; the Shvetambar list below is the standard reference for Nav Smaran Mala. The nine are:

    • Namaskära Mantra (Namaskara Mantra)
    • Uvasaggaharam Stotra
    • Santikaram Stotra
    • Tijaypahutta Stotra
    • Namiuna Stotra
    • Ajit Shänti Stavana
    • Bhaktämara Stotra
    • Kalyän Mandir Stotra
    • Brihad Shänti Stotra

    Arth (meaning) in brief:

    • Namaskära Mantra: reverence to Arihants, Siddhas, Teachers, Upadhyaya, and Monks/Nuns; a foundational prayer that acknowledges the spiritual lineage.
    • Uvasaggaharam Stotra: prayer for relief from obstacles and misfortunes.
    • Santikaram Stotra: hymn of peace and serenity.
    • Tijaypahutta Stotra: praise of the conquerors and those who have overcome attachments.
    • Namiuna Stotra: devotion to revered Tirthankaras or worthy beings (often invoked as a general homage).
    • Ajit Shänti Stavana: prayer for calm, fearlessness, and inner peace.
    • Bhaktämara Stotra: a devotional hymn venerating the supreme compassionate beings and tattvas.
    • Kalyän Mandir Stotra: a litany for auspicious temple rites and sanctity of worship places.
    • Brihad Shänti Stotra: an extended peace hymn used in various ritual contexts, including installation of images and temple ceremonies.

    If you’d like, I can provide the original text of any of these nine and explain its exact wording (with difference notes for Digambar vs. Shvetambar) in a simple, authentic Jain sense.
