Meaning of "Jai Jinendra"...
"Jai Jinendra"
"Jai Jinendra"! is a common greeting used by the "Jains". The phrase means "Honor to the Supreme Jinas (Tirthankaras)".
The reverential greeting is a combination of two sanskrit words: "Jai" and "Jinendra".
The word, "Jai" is used to praise somebody. In "Jai Jinendra", it is used to praise the qualities of the "Jinas" (conquerors).
The word "Jinendra" is a compound-word derived from the word "Jina", referring to a human being who has conquered all inner passions and possess *Kevala Gyan* (pure infinite knowledge), and the word "Indra," which means chief or lord.
By saying "Jai" we are praising the glory of these great Souls (Tirthankaras) and by doing this we are trying to internalise and imbibe their greatness in ourselves. By "Jinendra" we are saluting and appreciating the virtues of those "Jins" who also have achieved full control over their Indriyas (Senses).
Every Jain or in fact everyone should always start the communication (both written and oral) with “Jai Jinendra”. By admiring the greatness of these Emancipated Souls we get benefitted and feel more purified at the same time achieving further victories over our Karmas.
🙏 " Jai Jinendra "🙏
