C01 - Pancha Paramesthi
Navakär Mantra states that this sutra is the most blissful and auspicious sutra in the entire universe. The Navakär Mantra has stayed in its original version since the beginning of time and will stay that way forever. It contains the real essence of all 14 Purvas. One should recite Navakär Mantra upon waking up in morning, before going to bed, before meals, before starting any new activity, and preferably all the time. One who dies while reciting and/or listening to Navakär Mantra will be reborn as a heavenly being or a human. There is a lot of deeper meaning within the Navakär Mantra, so it is important to take time to understand the lines as you say them.
