श्रीभक्तामर महायन्नम्
Bhaktamara Mahayantra There are very few Jaina homes without the Bhaktamara stotra book. Bhaktamara Stotra provides protection from fears-worldly or spiritual, to the devotee. It consists of 48 number of yantras for many different purposes. Generally these are only in the form of diagrams. The prayers are addressed to Lord Rishabhadeva the first tirthankara who is installed in the centre of the yantra. Two other Jinas are standing in kayotsarga posture on either side of the throne of Rishabhadeva. Around that circle is a broader of concentric circle having eight circles within it. These circles are the yantras corresponding to stanzas 17 to 24, and the outer rim gives those verses.
