SHRI NAMASKAR MANTRA
IT was early in the morning. Ajay woke up and sat up in his bed. He began reciting the Namaskar Mantra.
Namo Arihantanam Namo Siddhanam Namo Ayariyanam Namo Uvajjhayanam Namo loe savva sahunam Eso Panch namukkaro Savva pava panasano Mangalancha savvesim Padhamam havai mangalam
By reciting the Namaskar Mantra, Ajay bowed and paid his respects to the Arihants, the Siddhas, the Acharyas, the Upadhyays and to all Sadhus.
Those who are humble are liked by all. The Namaskar Mantra teaches us to be humble. It teaches us to show respect. It makes us virtuous. It makes us happy by removing the causes of unhappiness. By reciting the Namaskar Mantra, sins of many lives are washed away. We should recite this mantra in the morning and at night. We should recite this mantra at the beginning of any good work. We should recite this mantra all the time. Let us recite Namaskar Mantra all together.
