THE FIVE-FOLD OBEISANCE
(Namaskāra Mahāmantra)
Obeisance to the Victors (Arhats). Obeisance to the Liberated souls (Siddhas).
Obeisance to the Preceptors (Ācāryas). Obeisance to the Spiritual Teachers (Upādhyāyas).
Obeisance to all the Saints (Sādhus) in the world. This sublime five-fold obeisance (Namaskāra Mahāmantra)
destroys all the sins and is supremely auspicious.
