  • Le Namaskara Mantra ou Ṇamōkāra mantra est récité par les fidèles jaïns, chaque jour, et au début de toute cérémonie religieuse et de toute activité importante. C'est une prière qui n'est pas une « demande », c'est avant tout un hommage respectueux envers ceux qui sont plus avancés dans leur réalisation spirituelle, et qui sont par conséquent des modèles pour tous les jaïns, et dont on doit imiter leur idéal de vie fondée sur la non-violence totale. C'est la prière la plus importante dans le jaïnisme. Cet hommage est dédié aux Parameshthi.. (fr)
  • The Ṇamōkāra mantra or Navkar Mantra is the most significant mantra in Jainism, and one of the oldest mantras in continuous practice.

The mantra is also variously referred to as the Pancha Namaskāra Mantra, Namaskāra Mantra, Navakāra Mantra, Namaskāra Mangala or Paramesthi Mantra. Below is the meaning of Namokar Mantra line by line, wherein the devotee first bows to the five supreme souls or Pañca-Parameṣṭhi: * Arihant— Those who have destroyed the four inimical karmas * Siddha — The persons who have achieved "Siddhi" * Acharyas — The teachers who teach how to behave / live one's life ( Acharya = one who teaches Aacharan ) * Upadhyaya — Preceptor of less advanced ascetics * Sādhu — The monks or sages in the world practicing Samyak Charitra (right conduct) * The practitioner also says that by bowing to all these five supreme souls, * All of his or her karmas can get destroyed and * Wishes for well-being of each and every living entity * The practitioner finally says that this mantra is the most auspicious one There is no mention of any particular names of the gods or any specific person. The prayer is done towards the guṇa (the good qualities) of the gods, teachers and the saints. Jains do not ask for any favors or material benefits from the tirthankaras or monastics. This mantra simply serves as a gesture of deep respect towards beings whom they believe are spiritually evolved, as well as to remind the people of their ultimate goal i.e. moksha (liberation).The Navkar Mantra consists of 68 letters. It is "gunavaachak" mantra & not a "naamvaachak" mantra. (en)
