In a grand celebration of spiritual heritage, the Somnath Swabhiman Parv has commenced at the sacred Prabhas Patan site in Gujarat. For the next 72 hours, an unbroken chant of ‘Om’ – the primordial sound of the universe – will reverberate through the historic temple complex. This extraordinary event marks a profound tribute to the resilience and pride of the Somnath Temple, one of India’s most revered Jyotirlingas.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to grace the occasion with his presence, adding immense significance to the festivities. His participation underscores the government’s commitment to preserving and promoting India’s ancient cultural and spiritual legacy. The event, organized by the Shree Somnath Trust, has drawn thousands of devotees, sadhus, and spiritual leaders from across the country.
The 72-hour Akhand Omkar Naad began with elaborate rituals at dawn, led by prominent priests. Chanting groups have been strategically placed around the temple, ensuring the sacred vibration continues without interruption. Live streams and digital platforms are broadcasting the event worldwide, allowing global devotees to join in this cosmic symphony.
This Swabhiman Parv commemorates the temple’s reconstruction post-independence, symbolizing national pride and spiritual revival. Historical narratives of Somnath’s invasions and ultimate restoration are being recounted through cultural programs, exhibitions, and discourses throughout the event.
As the chants echo into the night, participants report profound experiences of inner peace and unity.
