knowledge, having abolished all the evils or sins (matter) lying within and by making the Karmas dried up. In the second line or step, one is asked to bow before the realised one who has destroyed all the Karmas and stabilised him in the 'state' of Moksha; in the third line, pranams are due to Acharya Bhagwant who motivates others. In the fourth step we have to salute the grand teacher who spreads light of knowledge of the supreme kind found in the Sutra principle. In the fifth step of Navkar we have to bow down to all the souls who have been devoted to saintlihood and to the whole world.
Jainism
Jain Dharma is an ancient philosophical tradition of India. Mantra is a power. This has been accepted universally. The first and foremost great mantra of Jain Dharma is Siddhamantra. This mantra is universal, looking to the virtues only.
There is an Ashram called Vedanti Ashram (New Way) founded by Swami Vivekanand in Lonavala. The author of this book had visited that ashram. There are most modern machines in the ashram. This machines express and measure the power of the mantras which can be watched on a screen similar to the T.V. The best quality of the Navkar Mantra has been proved through the means of electronic mechanical instruments by demonstrating the measure to the eyes. There was not any meditator who might have adopted the Jain culture, clan or Jain Dharma. The incidents shown about the influence of the Navkar Mantra in Jain religious stories are not mere legendary stories or miracles. Behind them, lie scientific and psychological truths. The meditation on the good and the pure entities will move ahead speeding up the pious current towards purity and piousness. Constant contemplation of what is good and the positive thoughtprocess remedies and removes the evil; and this has been accepted by modern psychologists.
