    what should i recite after i wake up

    12 months ago 89

    Common morning recitations you can start with after waking up:

    • Navkar Mantra (Namokar Mantra): a five-fold bow to Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and all Sadhus.
    - ṇamo ariḥantāṇam - ṇamo siddhāṇam - ṇamo āyariyāṇam - ṇamo uvajjhāyāṇam - ṇamo loe savvasahūṇam (If you skip long recitation, you can chant as much as you can; even thinking of the mantra is beneficial.) You can read more about morning practice here
    • Khamemii Savva Jivae (forgiveness): seek forgiveness from all living beings.
    - "Khamemi Savva Jivae" (I forgive all living beings) - This helps purify intention for the day. See guidance on morning prayers here
    • Pratikraman (optional, daily or on days you practice more): reflection on dharma and seeking forgiveness for mistakes.
    • Jin Vandana or other short stotras (optional): simple chants or stutis to the Tirthankaras or holy beings.
    • End with a Peace/Well-being thought: a short reflection on non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), and other Jain virtues for the day ahead.

    Notes:

    • If you are Shwetambar or Digambar, the core Navkar Mantra remains the same; you may include additional stotras or prayers common in your tradition (e.g., specific stotras like Prakshal, Uvasaggaharam, or Bhaktamar, depending on your temple practice). The core practice described above is suitable for most households and temples.
    • The important part is sincerity and consistency: even a brief, calm recitation can set a virtuous tone for the day. You can read more about a simple morning-prayer routine here
