Power of the Namokar Mantra

There was a prince named Jivandher who recited the Namokar Mantra to a dying dog. The effect of the mantra was such that the dog became a heavenly deity called Sudershan Yakshendra.

The mantra is the foremost in Jainism.

The Mantra —

Namo Arihantanam (I bow down to all Arihanta: souls who have escaped all their gati karmas)

Namo Siddhanam (I bow down to all Siddhas: completely liberated souls)

Namo Ayriyanam: I bow down to all Acharyas: spiritual masters or divine teachers)

Namo Uvajjhayanam (I bow down to all Upadhyaya: preceptors)

Namo Loe Savva-sahunam: I bow down to all the saints and venerated spiritual souls in the world

Eso Panch Namokaro Savva-pavappanasano: The five kinds of bowing down I did through this mantra can destroy all my sins

Manglananch Savvesim: Among all the auspicious mantras

Padhamam Havei Mangalam: This Navkar Mantra is the principal one

Some more mantras —

Chant ‘Om Rheem Namo Arihantanam’ 12,500 times in a week to remove fear of enemies and increase self-confidence and will power.

Chant ‘Om Rheem Namo Aayariyanam’ 1,25,000 times in 6 months for name and fame.

Chanting ‘Om Rheem Namo Uvajayanam’ 1,25,000 times to destroy problems and evils.

Chant ‘Om Rheem Namo Loye Savva Sahunam’ 27 times a day for 27 days to help in completing your endeavours.

The beauty of the mantra is that it does not address any particular saint or god. It reveres all godly souls that lived the earth. The ultimate purpose of the Navkar mantra is to seek spiritual wealth and not material gains.
