Collective chanting of the Navkar Mantra for the welfare of the entire world is relevant

Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah attended an event in New Delhi as the Chief Guest on the occasion of ‘Vishwa Navkar Mahamantra Diwas’.

Shri Shah said that at a time when different parts of the world are witnessing conflict in efforts to assert their ideologies, the collective chanting of the Navkar Mantra here for the welfare of the entire world is highly meaningful and relevant. He said that India is a country of diverse sects and religions, where every tradition highlights the special significance and spiritual power of mantras.

He said that mantras guide human life towards a higher path, awaken our consciousness, and strengthen noble intentions. He added that when people collectively chant the same mantra with devotion, it benefits not only the individual but also the entire nation and the world.

Shri Shah said that our enlightened sages have, through tireless penance over generations, composed these mantras for the welfare of all humanity. We should accept them with devotion and also follow them in practice. He said that the Navkar Mantra is a completely formless, impartial, and universal prayer, in which there is no discrimination based on period, caste, region, or religion. Such an inclusive and universally accepted prayer is extremely rare in the world.

He said that this prayer is a reverence to the virtues of great souls who, by conquering their karma, have paved the path to self-realization and liberation. In this sacred mantra, the word “Namo” signifies complete surrender, guiding the seeker to renounce ego and move towards self-purification.(UPDATED ON 9TH APRIL 2026)
