Quick Answer

Traditions vary regarding specific stutis to recite before going to bed in Jainism. Commonly, devotees may chant the Namokar Mantra or other prayers seeking peace and spiritual protection.

Detailed Answer

In Jain practice, there is no single prescribed stuti exclusively mandated for recitation before sleep. However, many followers recite the Namokar Mantra, which venerates the Panch Parameshti (five supreme beings) and is central to Jain devotion. This mantra is believed to purify the mind and protect the soul during rest. Additionally, some may recite other prayers or stutis that focus on forgiveness, reflection, and spiritual cleansing, aligning with Jain principles of non-violence and self-discipline. The specific choice can vary by sect, tradition, and personal preference.
