Mahavir Jayanti celebration at Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh house

New Delhi, 5th April, 2012: Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh said that Global threat of terrorism and nuclear power faced by us can be solved by following Lord Mahavir philosophy of Peace and Non-Violence.

Prime Minister was addressing the gathering on the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti Celebration in the auspicious presence of founder of Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti the renowned Jain Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni at his residence 7, Race Course Road , New Delhi . He said that Lord Mahavir gave the message of Unity in Diversity. Following his teachings our country has the sacred culture of tolerance and non-violence, giving due respect to diversity and multiplicity is part of our culture and civilization. We have to strongly maintain this heritage. I am delighted to say that Acharya Lokesh, keeping this culture alive has played an important role in solving tension between different communities many times. For his remarkable contribution Government of India honored him with ‘National Communal Harmony Award 2010’. Followers of his teachings Jain Community is a very peace loving community, Jain Community has played an important role in development of nation and society.

Prime Minister further said that Lord Mahavir has associated religion with spirituality. I believe that being secular is not being non-religious but being Spiritual. A person who is more religious will be more secular. We have to pass this secular and spiritual culture to future generations. A country becomes week only when it is not able to exchange with other ideology. India has never closed doors for foreign ideology but has always welcomed them. We are united in spite of much diversity because we have the ancient culture of tolerance. We have to be alert and cautious from anti social trends which challenge the Unity of our Country and creates hindrance in our development.

Dr. Manmohan Singh said that communalism and insurgency is a very big challenge for unity and integrity of our country. Distracted people promote them which defames whole society and country. We have to work together to face such challenges. Releasing the first copy of magazine ‘Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti Ahwan’ Prime Minister congratulated Jain Community.

Honored with National Communal Harmony renowned Jain Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni on the occasion said that Lord Mahavir philosophy has the solution for Global problems. He said that following his teachings mankind can solve the problems of Terrorism, Global warming, Corruption, Poverty, Naxalism, Population Explosion and Female Foeticide. He said that following the Path of Non-violence, Peace and Harmony we can build a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous society.

Acharya Lokesh presented a gorgeous picture of Lord Mahavir to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on the auspicious occasion. Central Minister Mr. Shri Prakash Jaiswal said that philosophy of Lord Mahavir is very relevant in present century. He congratulated Jain Community on the Birth Anniversary of Lord Mahavir.
