New Delhi, April 7 (NationPress) Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to take part in the Navkar Mahamantra Divas on April 9. The event will take place at Vigyan Bhawan in the capital.
In a post on X, PM Modi announced: "At 8 a.m. on April 9, the day before the significant occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, I will be joining a unique event with a global significance - the Navkar Mahamantra Divas at Vigyan Bhavan in Delhi. Individuals from over 100 countries will participate in this event, which will feature a global chant for peace, unity, and spiritual awakening."
The initiative aims to foster world peace amidst the concerning realities of war, violence, and division.
The Prime Minister will engage in the collective chanting of the Navkar Mahamantra and will also address attendees at the location.
This sacred occasion encourages reflection on the values of purity, tolerance, and collective welfare, transcending borders with over 108 nations uniting for a global prayer for peace and unity.
The Jain International Trade Organization (JITO) spearheads this significant initiative, anticipating observances across 6,000 venues in India and in 108 countries worldwide.
In honor of Bhagwan Mahavir Jayanti, the Navkar Mahamantra day is projected to draw an impressive one crore and eight lakh devotees to come together for this noble cause.
The Navkar Mahamantra Divas represents a deep connection of spiritual enlightenment and ethical contemplation, promoting harmony through the resonant chanting of the Navkar Mahamantra -- a chant highly esteemed in Jainism as a universal prayer.
Embodying the principles of non-violence, humility, and spiritual elevation, this mantra pays tribute to the enlightened and inspires personal transformation.
The festival of Mahavir Jayanti marks the birth of Lord Mahavir, who was born in 615 BC into a royal family, known in his younger days as 'Vardhamana.'
At the age of 30, his life took a profound turn when he renounced his royal title to seek spiritual truth.
After twelve years of intense meditation and austerity, Lord Mahavir achieved 'Kevala Jnana'—ultimate knowledge—and became the champion of the Dharma that is recognized today as Jainism.
The Jain community worldwide celebrates this joyous event with enthusiasm and reverence.
Lord Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism, imparted teachings that continue to inspire peace and unity. The festival highlights the enduring importance of Jainism, particularly its fundamental principle, 'ahimsa parmo dharma'—non-violence—which resonates profoundly in today's turbulent climate.
