He observes, the five major vows, he has ability to practice five
categories of ethical behavior; he is endowed with five-folded
vigilance and three folded self-control. Such is my spiritual master
with these 36 attributes.

Meaning: The preceptor(Guru) effectively controls five sense organs which are touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing. This is known as five Indriya Nishedha
He/she observes nine guidelines (limitations) of celibacy. These steps provide proper protection to the vow of celibacy known as the nine Brahmacharya Vrata
He/she is free from four passions (of anger, ego, deceit and greed). he/she is thus equipped with these eighteen attributes. 
He/she practices five great vows (of non-violence, truth, non-accepting any thing unless specifically offered, celibacy and non-possession).This is known as the five Mahavratas
He/she is capable to observe five-fold code (of knowledge, perception, conduct, austerity and vigor).This is known as following the five Ächäras

Explanation: This hymn is recited to invoke spiritual master and therefore it is also known as Sthäpanä (invocation) Sutra;
Panchindiya Sutra is the 91st and 92nd stanza of the text “Sambodha Prakarana” authored by Ächärya Haribhadra Suri.
Presence of an ascetic teacher is essential while performing the rituals. Any religious activity, especially Sämäyika and Pratikramana, are most beneficial when performed in the presence of an ascetic teacher. When it is not possible to have the presence of an ascetic teacher, a holy book, preferably containing Navakara
Mantra, Panchindiya Sutra, a religious symbol or a picture of an ascetic teacher can be placed on a wooden stand at a certain height (between the nose and the navel), as a symbolic representation of the ascetic preceptor.
It is very important to keep the image of spiritual master in mind while performing the rituals; otherwise performing religious activities is fruitless and does not produce true beneficial effects.

Ächärya: Ächärya is the spiritual head of the monastic congregation (monastic order, Sangha).
Ächärya has following 36 attributes:
Control over pleasures and pains of the five-sense organs. The five sense organs are; skin (touch), tongue (taste), nose (smell), eyes(sight) and ears (hearing).

The categories of each sense are:
1.Eight types of touches: cold,warm, soft, hard,      large/heavy,small/light,  smooth and rough.

NAVKAR MANTRA



                                    II  Navkar Mantr(नवकार मंत्र) II


Navkar Mantra is the universal prayer of Jainism. The Navkar Mantra is the most important mantra in Jainism and can be recited at any time. This mantra is also called Namaskar (नमस्कार) or Namokar (णमोकार) Mantra.
While reciting this mantra, the devotee bows with respect to humans who have cleared their gathi karmas (arihants), fully liberated souls (siddhas), spiritual leaders (acharyas), teachers (upajjhayas) and monks.

Object: Deepest salutations to the five most auspicious beings.

Navkar Mantra, Namokar Mantra
NAVKAR MANTRA

Namo Arihantanam
I bow in reverence to Arihants
Namo Siddhanam
I bow in reverence to Siddhas
Namo Ayariyanam
I bow in reverence to Acharyas
Namo Uvajjhayanam
I bow in reverence to Upadhyayas
Namo Loye Savva Sahunam
I bow in reverence to all Sadhus

Eso Panch Namukkaro
This five-fold salutation
Savva Pavappanasano
Destroys all sins
Mangalanam Cha Savvesim
And amongst all auspicious things
Padhamam Havai Mangalam
Is the most auspicious one

Explanation: Navakara Mantra is also known as Namaskara Mantra  and Namokara Mantra. Navakara Mantra is composed of nine sentences (padas). It is the most revered mantra in Jaina religion. In first and second sentences, we pay our respect to perfect souls. In the third, fourth and fifth sentences we pay respect to the monks. The remaining four sentences explain the importance of this prayer. Some Jain traditions do not include the last four sentences in Navakara Mantra. The first seven padas each has a separate meaning while last two padas together have one meaning, thus for nine padas there are eight meanings (sampada). There are 68 whole letters in the original Prakrit version of the Navakara Mantra. These are the five supreme beings (parmeshthis), who are revered in this Mantra.


Arihanta: Siddha is the highest stage of bliss even above the state of Arihanta but in the Navakara Mantra, obeisance is offered first to Arihanta because they are perfect worldly souls, builders of the ford of righteousness, establishers of the four fold order of the Jaina community and they devote their lives in preaching and guiding other living beings to the path of liberation. Lord Arihanta has 12 attributes; which are made up of 8 auspicious symbols (pratihärya) and 4 extra ordinary powers (atishaya).

Twelve attributes of Arihanta are as follows:
1. Jnänätishaya: Omniscience, the perfect knowledge of past,present and future of the entire Universe at the same time.
2. Apäyäpagamätishaya: Lord Arihanta is free from all the faults and where ever he travels there is absence of all natural calamities and diseases within the area of 125 Yojanas (1 Yojana equals 4 miles) surrounding him.
3. Pujätishaya: All celestial beings and humans either worship or have desire to worship Lord Arihanta.
4. Vachanätishaya: The speech of Lord Arihanta is "The Reality" itself and well understood by celestial beings, humans and animals in their own mode of expression (native tongue) and has 35 special qualities.
5. Ashoka Vruksha: Where a divine assembly hall is built, a tree called Ashoka Vruksha, twelve times larger than the body of Lord Arihanta, is created by celestial beings. Lord Arihanta delivers his universal sermon sitting under this tree. Over Ashoka Vruksha, there is another tree called Chaitya Vruksha. It is under this Chaitya Vruksha lord Arihanta acquires perfect knowledge (Kevaljnäna).
6. Sura-pushpa vrushti: Shower of fragrant flowers by celestial beings.
7. Divya dhvani: The discourse of Lord Arihanta is accompanied by divine music in the background played by celestial beings.
8. Chämara: whisk
9. Sinhänsana: A divine golden throne studded with precious diamonds
10. Bhämandala: Halo behind the head of Tirthankara 
11.Devadudumbhi: The celestial beings play the musical instruments during the samovsharana.

the cycles of birth and death forever. The liberated souls live in an
abode called Siddha-shilä located at the top of the universe. Lord
