Navkar jaap – about the mantra
The Navkar / Namokar Mantra is the most fundamental prayer in Jainism. It honours qualities rather than any individual — the five supreme beings (Pancha Parameshthi). Count one tap per full recitation.
The mantra
णमो अरिहंताणं। णमो सिद्धाणं। णमो आयरियाणं।
णमो उवज्झायाणं। णमो लोए सव्व साहूणं॥
Namo Arihantanam, Namo Siddhanam, Namo Ayariyanam, Namo Uvajjhayanam, Namo Loe Savva Sahunam
Meaning
I bow to the Arihantas (perfected souls who teach), the Siddhas (liberated souls), the Acharyas (spiritual leaders), the Upadhyayas (teachers) and all the Sadhus (monks and nuns) in the world.
The traditional closing lines say this five-fold salutation destroys all sins and is the first and foremost of all auspicious things.
Benefits of Navkar jaap
Recited at waking, before meals, before travel and at the end of the day.
