Navkar Mahamantra not just mantra, but center of faith: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that the spiritual prayer, Navkar Mahamantra, is not just a mantra but the center of faith. Addressing a gathering on the occasion of Navkar Mahamantra Divas in New Delhi, Mr Modi said that the significance of the Mahamantra is not just spiritual but is the key to life. 

He added that it shows the path to everyone from self to society and presents a journey to the world from within. He highlighted that whenever someone chants the prayer, they bow down to the 108 Divine Attributes, which reminds people about the welfare of humanity and that knowledge and action are the cornerstone of



life.

During the event, the Prime Minister chanted the Navkar Mahamantra with people from more than 108 countries. The Navkar Mahamantra is the most revered and universal chant in Jainism. Rooted in the principles of nonviolence, humility, and spiritual elevation, the mantra pays homage to the virtues of enlightened beings and inspires inner transformation. 

The Navkar Mahamantra Divas is a celebration of spiritual harmony and ethical consciousness that seeks to unite people through the collective chanting of the Navkar Mahamantra. The Divas encourage all individuals to reflect on the values of self-purification, tolerance, and collective well-being.
