This Is Available Online at Insidethenavkar.Com This is available online at InsidetheNavkar.com Given that the Navkar Mantra connects all of us Jains – regardless of whether you are Digamber, Swetamber, Sthanakvasi or Terapanthi – these next few pages are for you regardless of the sub sect you are. To all Jains, the Navkar Mantra is the Bible. But did you ever open the book? The Navkar Mantra: 9 lines of a message. Of a language. And within those words, within those 9 lines within the message, there is meaning. The last 2 lines of the Navkar Mantra mean ‘Of all things auspicious, treasured, valuable, and desired, the Navkar Mantra is the first and foremost.’ The Navkar Mantra is worth more than all of Bill Gates' wealth, more auspicious than all of the temple ceremonies you do, more to be desired than the CEO's chair of the company you work at, or the valedictorian’s position of the school you go to. Yet is this the way we feel? Ever cross your mind, 'Maybe I'm not completely doing it right...'? The Navkar Mantra is extraordinarily detailed, deep, and valuable, but only to those souls who can fully uncover it or correctly do it. So educate yourself. Not on just the meaning, but the actual perspective within the livelihoods of each of the 5 Panch Parmesthi. And so, in order to benefit each person in this building during this time, you can read something that you have likely never been able to come across. A greater understanding of the Navkar Mantra. Upon understanding this, you can start to see the importance in learning the meaning behind the things you encounter. And it is important to invoke that meaning every time you say the Navkar Mantra – not just run through the words with no regard for the mind. The goal of this writing is to help you learn and understand the perspectives of the people we should always appreciate (the Panch Parmesthis) and guide our lives in the right direction. This is all written by someone who is three or four years within your age so have faith that you will understand how all the pieces fit together as you read further on. If you have any curiosity as to what you believe in so heavily but may not even know, you will read on; if not, look within yourself first. First, what you may already know. The Navkar Mantra contains nine lines which are: Namo Arihantanam | I bow down to the Arihant (enlightened beings who know truth and establish religion) Namo Siddhanam | I bow down to the Siddha (enlightened, liberated souls free from suffering and karma) Namo Ayariyanam | I bow down to the Acharya (spiritual leaders that guide the community of the Jains) Namo Uvajjhayanam | I bow down to the Upadhyay (spiritual teachers who are wise enough to show the path) Namo Loe Savva-sahunam | I bow down to the Sadhu/Sadhvi (spiritual students who have given up the material world) Eso Panch Namokaro | These five acts of bowing down Savva-pavappanasano | Destroy all sins, karma, and pain Manglananch Savvesim | Among all things auspicious in the universe Padhamam Havei Mangalam | The Navkar Mantra is the first and foremost The Navkar Mantra is split into 3 parts, at first glance. The first five lines are an act of respect for five different types of beings that exist in Jainism – the Panch Parmesthis. But if each is a line in the Navkar Mantra, there is a lot more to be understood about the perspective, accomplishments, and responsibilities of each of those five types of beings. The next two lines (6 and 7) are very similar to an if- then statement that serves as a guide describing how one should live life. If you take it for what it is – the two lines are a cause and effect: Bowing down to these five types of beings correctly |leads to| the destruction of your sins, your karmas. And this will really be understood later on. And the final two lines (8 and 9) try to urge the reader or hearer of these words that these simple words should be valued above all else in life – at whatever the cost it should be the listener or reader’s goal to treasure, fully understand, and then act upon the depths within these previous 7 lines. Just take a second and think for a second: If 2 of the 9 most important lines that are meant to be kept sacred, remembered, and understood for centuries past and centuries to come – if two lines are spent just trying to state the amount of importance that should be placed on this, then isn’t it clear that the meaning and depth within the first 7 lines should be the main goal of every human being to uncover? So the first five lines are an attempt to pay respect to the five types of beings known as the Panch Parmesthis: Arihant, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyays, and Sadhus. The best way to pay respect to them: fully understand their role, fully realize who you are appreciating and why you are appreciating them, and hope that one day you can give back to the world what they had given to you. This is how the Navkar Mantra should be done – all of these sentences, these pages below should be ideas and thoughts that should go through your head on your own. The Navkar Mantra should be done so that the sentences below can be created from your mind on its own because that is the way you truly feel. Let’s begin. Namo Arihantanam. I bow down to all of the Arihants of the past, present, and future. I bow down to all of the beings that were able to rise up and teach from within themselves what is right and wrong to the rest of the world. I bow down to the beings who were able to free their souls by being victorious over their inner enemies that lie within each human being, allowing their soul to become enlightened to the truth and liberated from all suffering. The word Arihant means itself destroyer of inner enemies - the four main inner enemies are called the kashays which are anger, ego, deceit, and greed. I bow down to the Arihants because they were able to free the soul and allow it to become its true nature which it achieves when someone has no attachments, desires, worries, or greed. Enlightenment, illumination of the truth – this is a different, higher level stage that is more than living a virtuous, good, non-violent life. It is more, and it is what makes the being of an Arihant so rare and reputable. To be able to overcome all of one’s attachments and desires, feelings of inadequacy and doubts about existence – the ability to stay completely calm no matter what one is faced with, always understanding that events in life occur for a greater purpose that isn’t immediately observable – to live in accordance with these ideas is extremely difficult to achieve. Mahavir Swami is the most widely known and well known Arihant throughout Jainism, but there are many others that came before him (24 Tirthankars) and some that even exist today in other worlds. I bow down to those beings who were able to put into the most perfect words, who were able to say in the most perfect way, a message that would be received correctly by all future beings that may read or hear them. I bow down to the 24 Tirthankars who were Arihants of the past of humanity who were able to change entire civilizations, who were able to directly influence the world with their thoughts. Not only were they able to spread the truth in the most easy to understand manner but they were able to extinguish all the doubts of the people around them and create a collective population of human beings that are able to live to their full potential, experience their full human-ness, and live in continuous peace and appreciation. I appreciate the 24 Tirthankars and each of their 12 qualities specific to their being (108 beads on a Navkar Vali represent 108 qualities of the Panch Parmesthi – Arihants have 12, Siddhas 8, Acharyas 36, Upadhyays 25, Sadhus 27). I appreciate and bow down to the fact that these beings establish the Sangh – composed of monks, nuns, and common people (Sadhus, Sadhvis, Shravaks, Shravikas) to come together under an umbrella of truth and stop wandering in the ocean for answers on their own – I respect these beings for being the leaders and speakers of such truth that they are able to create such a thing. Of those 12 qualities mentioned earlier, I bow down to some in particular. Gnanatishay – these beings are enlightened, supreme knowledge of the world and full understanding of the nature of reality and the nature of themselves. This is self-realization to a far greater extent where everything is seen from an objective point of view, they know all of the doubts that all humans face and all of the fears and ingrained flaws that are present in the mind that prevent us from reaching enlightenment. To have such powerful and valuable knowledge that can aid a human being to go from the dark depths of the world to a spiritual rebirth – I bow down to and respect. I appreciate that their words were able to be so highly valued by people that it was able to travel through hundreds of years, different writers, different interpreters – and finally reach me in the present moment and come into contact with my life.

  • Jainism by Dr
    Jainism By Dr. Subhash Chandra Jainism traditionally known as Jain Dharma, is an ancient, non-theistic, Indian religion, founded by Jina Mahavira in the 5th century BCE. Followers of Jainism are called "Jains", a word derived from the Sanskrit word jina (victor) and connoting the path of victory in crossing over life's stream of rebirths through an ethical and spiritual life. Jains trace their history through a succession of 24 victorious saviours and teachers known as tirthankaras, with the first being Rishabhanatha, who according to Jain tradition lived millions of years ago, twenty-third being Parshvanatha in 8th century BC and twenty-fourth being the Mahāvīra around 500 BCE. Jains believe that Jainism is an eternal dharma with the tirthankaras guiding every cycle of the Jain cosmology. The main religious premises of Jainism are ahiṃsā (non-violence), anekāntavāda (many-sidedness), aparigraha (non-attachment) and asceticism. Devout Jains take five main vows: ahiṃsā (non-violence), satya (truth), asteya (not stealing), brahmacharya (celibacy or chastity), and aparigraha (non-attachment). These principles have impacted Jain culture in many ways, such as leading to a predominantly vegetarian lifestyle that avoids harm to animals and their life cycles. Parasparopagraho Jīvānām (the function of souls is to help one another) is the motto of Jainism. Ṇamōkāra mantra is the most common and basic prayer in Jainism. The origins of Jainism are obscure. The Jains claim their religion to be eternal, and consider Rishabhanatha to be the founder in the present time cycle, the first of 24 Jain tirthankaras in Jain belief, and someone who lived for 8,400,000 purva years.

Eso Panch Namokaro Ces cinq inclinaisons Savva­pavappanasano Effacent tous les péchés. Mangalananch Savvesim Parmi tout ce qui est favorable, Padhamam Havei Mangalam Ce Navkar Mantra est le plus favorable. Le Navkar Mantra est le plus important mantra dans le Jaïnisme. Il peut être récité à tout moment. En le récitant, nous nous inclinons devant les Arihantas ou Arhats (les âmes qui sont parvenues à l'état de non­attachement envers les choses de ce monde), les Siddhas (les âmes libérées), les Acharyas (les chefs des sādhus et des sādhvis), les Upādhyāyas (ceux qui enseignent les écritures aux sādhus et aux sādhvis), les Sādhus (les moines qui ont volontairement renoncé aux relations sociales, économiques et familiales) et les Sādhvis (les nonnes qui ont fait de même). Collectivement, on les appelle Panch Parmesthis (les cinq sortes d'êtres spirituels suprêmes). Dans ce mantra nous vénérons leurs vertus plutôt qu'eux­ mêmes en tant que personnes, c'est la raison pour laquelle il n'y est pas fait mention des Seigneurs Mahāvira, Parshvanath ou Adinath, etc. Lorsque nous récitons le Navkar Mantra, il nous rappelle que nous avons besoin de faire comme eux. Ce mantra est aussi appelé Namaskār ou Namokār Mantra parce que nous nous inclinons et nous saluons.

  • Jain View of Life
    Jain View of Life Perface to the First Edition Man is `homo sapiens’. He has bulit civilizations and destroyed them too. Magnificent empires were built, mighty in their day. It was difficult to doubt their power. But their day is done and their courts `the lion and the lizard keep’. We have seen the phenmimenal advancement of science in our own day. As we gaze at the incredible rapidity of scientific progress we are losing touch with the spiritual side of man. We are on cross- roads of life, between two worlds; `one dead and the powerless to be born’. We see everywhere social and political chaos. There is distrust and frustration, and for a decade or more we have lived on the brink of another world war more disastrous than the earlier too, which would mean total destruction of human race. Whether it would mean pralaya we do not know. But when it comes we can only see the broken bits of civilization, if we are to survive this catastrophe. And all this is due to a wrong approach to the understanding of the problems of life and experience. A new kind of a materialism is being emphasised today wherin we pay exclusice attention to material comforts and ignore the higher values. But to understand life and nature we have to transcend the narrow partial points of view and adopt a synoptic view of life. We have to realize that others’ points of view have also to be considered and respected. Dogmatic approach of looking at the problems leads to intolerance and then to violence.
