The Navkar Mantra · नवकार मंत्र
The Navkar Mantra is the most important prayer in Jainism. It doesn’t ask for anything — it simply bows with respect to five kinds of great souls, from ordinary monks all the way up to fully liberated souls. Many Jains say it first thing every morning.

A Tirthankara is a teacher who has found the path to true peace and shows it to everyone else. Jainism honours 24 of them. The very first was Rishabhanatha (Adinatha), who is said to have taught people farming and crafts. The last, Mahavira (Vardhamana), lived about 2,600 years ago and taught the five great vows, including Ahimsa.
Meet all 24 →What is Ahimsa? · अहिंसा क्या है?
Ahimsa means not hurting any living being — not just people and animals, but even tiny insects most people never notice. That’s why you might see a Jain sweep the ground gently before they sit, or avoid walking outside after dark when insects are hardest to see. It’s kindness, taken very seriously!
The Ahimsa Hand · अहिंसा का हाथ
This open palm with a wheel in the middle is a famous Jain symbol. The hand means "stop" — think before you act. The wheel in the centre reminds us that if we stop hurting others, we can stop the endless cycle of rebirth (samsara) and find real peace.
