The most momentous mantra in Jainism is Ṇamōkāra mantra .This is the prayer recited by the Jains while meditating. The mantra is also referred to as the Pancha Namaskāra Mantra, Navakāra Mantra or Namaskāra Mantra. While reciting this mantra, the devotee bows with respect to the Panch Parameshti (the Supreme Five) in order of the sanctity of their souls:
1 Those who have cleared their ghati (inimical) karmas (arihants)
2 The fully liberated souls (siddhas)
3 The spiritual leaders or Preceptors (acharyas)
4 The teachers (upajjhayas)
5 The monks or sages in the world
The prayer is done for the guṇa (the good qualities) of the gods, teachers and the saints. Jains don’t believe in any favors or material benefits from the tirthankaras or monastics. This mantra simply serves as a gesture of deep admiration towards beings whom they believe are spiritually ahead, as well as to remind the people of their ultimate goal of life i.e. moksha (liberation).
According to Digambaras and Sthānakavāsīs the first five lines as the main mantra. The following two lines are meant to explain the benefit of reciting the mantra.
“Ṇamō Arihantāṇaṁ” that means “I bow to the Arihants, the Conquerors”
“Ṇamō Siddhāṇaṁ” that means “I bow to the Siddhas”
“Ṇamō Ayariyāṇaṁ” which means “I bow to the Acharyas”
“Ṇamō Uvajjhāyāṇaṁ” that states “I bow to the Upadhyayas”
“Ṇamō Lōē Savva Sāhūṇaṁ” that means “I bow to all the Sages of the world”
“Ēsōpan̄caṇamōkkārō, savvapāvappaṇāsaṇō” which states “This five-fold salutation completely destroys all the sins”
“Maṅgalā ṇaṁ ca savvēsiṁ, paḍamama havaī maṅgalaṁ” that means “And, of all auspicious mantras, (it) is indeed the foremost auspicious one”.

Everyone wants to be happy. But how does happiness came and real meaning of happiness, a very few people knows. Now a day’s all people try to do criticize each other’s and try to make superior ourselves than others by showing them down. By doing so they can never have happiness in their life. In my point of view happiness came when you are happy because you have made somebody else happy. Sometimes doing little things for others can make a big help for them. Its all about we feel happy/good when we are able to smile somebody. Our life is to give others. Whoever is happy will make others happy too. Do not criticize self /anybody / situation. Situation cannot make you happy because happiness does not depend on situation. Happiness will never came to those who don’t appreciate themselves. So always be proud of you by accepting mistakes/ in sufficiency. Be happy always not because everything is good but because you can see the good in everything. The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have. Another way to be happy is to have gratitude. If we are grateful to others we feel inner happiness. Happiness is not something readymade it comes from our own actions. Happiness does not depend upon what happens outside of you but on what goes on inside you because the happiness is essential within. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence. Its never too late to be happy.
Be happy!!!
