When the soul recognizes itself, then it becomes Mahavir: Munishri Acharya Praman Sagar

Munishri Acharya Praman Sagar Ji Maharaj underlined the relevance of Navkar Mahamantra in the current global perspective. He said that when the world is going through a horrific phase of terror, violence and war, Navkar Mahamantra guides towards peace, co-existence and self-realization. He said that Mahavir is not born, but created – when the soul recognizes itself, it becomes Mahavir.

Acharya Praman Sagar Ji Maharaj said that true worship is not just external worship but awareness of one’s own existence. When we recognize the Mahavir within us and worship him, then only we are worshipping the whole world. Worship of Navkar Mantra is for the peace of the whole world. He said that it is necessary to adopt the shelter of religion, that is, truth, penance, discipline and patience in life. The welfare of society and nation is possible only by bringing religion into our nature and attitude.
