Jain Stavan Books

Jain stavan books keep the words of the stavans, the devotional songs sung before the Tirthankar idol, within reach when memory fails at the derasar. The collection covers stavans for daily darshan, for Paryushan and Navpad Oli, and for occasions such as a Shatrunjay yatra when the whole group sings on the climb.

Families keep one copy in the puja room and one in the derasar bag, pathshala teachers use them to teach the tune with the words, and they are a common prabhavna item after a bhakti programme.
