Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the 'Navkar Mahamantra Diwas' program at Vigyan Bhavan in New Delhi. PM Modi chanted the 'Navkar Mahamantra' along with others at the 'Navkar Mahamantra Diwas' program. After this, he addressed the people. He said that this philosophy of Navkar Mahamantra is connected to the vision of developed India. I have said from the Red Fort - Developed India means development as well as heritage. An India that will not stop, an India that will not pause. Which will touch heights, but will not be cut off from its roots.
'I am still feeling the spiritual power within me'
Earlier, PM Modi said, 'I am still feeling this spiritual power of Navkar Mahamantra within me. A few years ago, I witnessed such a collective chanting in Bangalore, today I had the same feeling and with the same depth.'
'Not only every word of this mantra, but each letter is a mantra in itself'
Prime Minister Modi said, '...Navkar Mahamantra is not just a mantra. This is the center of our faith. The basic tone of our life... and its importance is not just spiritual. It shows the path to everyone from self to society, it is a journey from the people to the world. Not only each word of this mantra, but each letter is a mantra in itself.'
'Special importance of Nav in our culture'
He said that Navkar Mahamantra is a path. A path that purifies a person from within, which shows a person the path of harmony. Navkar Mahamantra is truly a mantra of human being, meditation, sadhana and self-purification. We know that there are 9 elements of life. These 9 elements take life towards perfection. That is why Nav has special importance in our culture.
'Jainism inspires us to win ourselves, not the outside world'
He said that Navkar Mahamantra says that believe in yourself and start your journey, the enemy is not outside, the enemy is inside. Negative thinking, distrust, animosity, and selfishness are those enemies, defeating whom is the real victory. This is the reason why Jainism inspires us to conquer ourselves, not the outside world.
'Statues of more than 20 Tirthankaras have been brought back from abroad in the past years'
PM Modi said that developed India will work on its culture. That is why we preserve the teachings of our Tirthankaras. When the time came for the 2550th Nirvana Mahotsav of Lord Mahavira, we celebrated it across the country. Today, when ancient statues come back from abroad, the statues of our Tirthankaras also return. You will be proud to know that statues of more than 20 Tirthankaras have been brought back from abroad in the past years.
