The event was convened by Asit Shah, with co-conveners Bhadresh Shah and Piyush Jain, under the leadership of Jito Ahmedabad Chapter Chairman Rajeev Chhajer, Sr. Vice Chairman Vaibhav Shah along with Chief Secretary Jainik Vakil and their dedicated team.

The dignitaries emphasized the profound significance of chanting the Navkar Mahamantra, especially in today’s global environment marked by unrest and uncertainty. The mantra, which reveres Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyays and Sadhus was highlighted as a universal prayer promoting peace, spiritual growth and the path to moksha.

Ganpatraj Chowdhary also shed light on impactful initiatives such as JEAP and JATF, encouraging greater awareness and participation among the Jain community.
