The Jain Centre London in Colindale was among several prominent venues across the UK and worldwide that marked the Vishwa Navkar Mahamantra Divas, a globally synchronised initiative led by JITO (Jain International Trade Organisation), bringing together participants from over 108 countries to promote peace, unity, and spiritual awakening.
The event formed part of a coordinated global movement, with individuals and organisations joining simultaneously in the chanting of the sacred Navkar Mahamantra, symbolising the message of “One World, One Day, One Chant.”
The proceedings continued in the main hall with a welcome address by Dr Ajay Shah, Chairman of the Jain Centre. He highlighted the universal relevance of the Navkar Mahamantra, describing it as a spiritual foundation that transcends boundaries and inspires humility, inner peace, and harmony across communities.
