Navkar Mahamantra Divas is a spiritually significant event rooted in Jain philosophy, dedicated to the collective chanting of the Navkar Mahamantra—a sacred prayer that honors enlightened beings rather than deities. It emphasizes core values like non-violence (ahimsa), humility, self-awareness, and spiritual elevation.
In 2025, the day is celebrated with a grand global event at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi, with participation from over 108 countries and more than one crore devotees worldwide. The event also precedes Mahavir Jayanti, honoring Lord Mahavir’s legacy of truth, non-violence, and renunciation.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the gathering, highlighting the mantra’s universal message of harmony and compassion. This global celebration reflects the timeless relevance of Jain principles in promoting a more peaceful and united world.
