Jain Stutis

In Jainism, Stutis serve as devotional compositions that extol the virtues and qualities of Tirthankaras, Arihants, and Siddhas. These hymns are integral to Jain worship and meditation practices, helping devotees cultivate reverence, humility, and spiritual focus. Stutis often highlight key Jain philosophical concepts such as non-violence (Ahimsa), truth (Satya), and the path to liberation (Moksha). They can be found in various Jain scriptures and liturgical texts, and are recited during rituals, festivals, and daily prayers. The recitation of Stutis aids in the removal of karmic obstructions (Jñānāvaraṇīya) and supports the aspirant's journey towards self-realization and liberation. While the exact compositions and their classifications may vary between the Śvetāmbara and Digambara traditions, the underlying purpose remains consistent: to inspire devotion and reinforce Jain ethical and spiritual ideals.
