Namokar mantra (called as navkar mantra/panch-namaskar mantra or maha mantra) is the mantra chanted by jains as their most important mantra. This mantra has five lines(famously called as padas) and 35 letters(known as aksharas). This mantra is considered as the first written words of their first holy book which was completed on the day of shrut-panchmi by acharaya pushpadanta and bhootbali named as Kshat-khandagama.

In this mantra jains pay their devotion to their gods not by name but by their posts which is mainly diveded in arihantas,siddhas, acharayas,upadhyay and sadhus(monks). It is considered that almost 35000 angels serve this mantra and they come to help if in problem.

Navkar mantra:- णमो अरिहंताणं (I bow down to arihantas) णमो सिद्धाणं (I bow down to siddhas) णमो आयरियाणं (I bow down to acharayas) णमो उवज्झायाणं (I bow down to upadhyayas) णमो लोए सव्व साहूणं (I bow down to all the sadhus in the world) एसोपंचणमोक्कारो, सव्वपावप्पणासणो (This panch namaskar mantra is the destroyer of all the sins) मंगला णं च सव्वेसिं, पडमम हवई मंगलं (And by just reading this mantra, the good happens to all)
