A Telugu song named 'Arihanthanam' has been released, the lyrics of which have the wordings of 'Navkar Mahamantra' which is a Jain Shlok.
It's a sacred shlok and using it for entertainment as a song is disrespectful.
If the music director would have understood the meaning of the shlok in depth then he might have not used this sacred shlok as a movie song.
Hence, we, the people of Jain Community are raising a voice against the telugu song 'Arihanthanam' and want it to be banned.

Ridiculous to use our holy mantra for a movie. Please remove it immediately
This is very bad.. No one has the right to disrespect other religion. The producer has to change the song lyrics..
