Namokar (Navkar) Mantra ke baare mein:

• Kisne sunaya? Jain dharm ke adhikansh paramparao me Navkar Mantra ko kisi ek vyakti ne “sunaya” ki kahani nahi milti. Yeh mantra Jain siddhanton ki mool-vartaon me prachlit hai aur Tirthankaron ke sandesh se pradushan hua, yaani isko adhikansh sampradayon me Tirthankaron aur unke anuyāyon dwara prashikshit, padhaya gaya mana jata hai.
• Kya is mantra ki pehchaan hai? Navkar Mantra paanch pavitra samudaayon ki arihan, siddha, acharya, upadhyaya, aur sadhu jin ki pūjana ki jati hai — inhi ashirvadon ko yaad karne ke liye kaha jata hai.
• Digambar–Shvetambar dono me arth aur prathā me thoda antar ho sakta hai, par mool tatva (five auspicious beings ko vandan) lagbhag samaan hi hai.
• Agar aap chahen, main is mantra ki asli panktiyon (arth ke saath) aur alag paramparao ki vyakhya de sakta hoon. Bas batayiye ki aap Digambar ya Shvetambar ki visheshtaon ke saath padhna chahenge.

Agar aap chahen, main Navkar Mantra ka shabdik arth (arth) aur uske spiritual tatva ko bahut saral bhaasha me samjha kar de sakta hoon.
