“If everyone follows the principles of truth, non-violence and non-attachment taught by Lord Mahavira for the welfare of mankind, there will be peace all over the world. Let us all follow his ideals for lasting world peace,” Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria said here on Sunday.
He was speaking after inaugurating a program organized at Mahavira Bhavan on the occasion of Janma Kalyanak, the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavira.
“Today there is an atmosphere of unrest all over the world. This is not natural, it is because of human greed. More than 2,624 years ago, Lord Mahavira gave a universal message for the welfare of mankind. This message is not only for Jains. It is for all mankind. Being a Jain is very simple. Those who follow the principles and doctrines of Jamavira automatically become.

“We should stay away from ego, anger and attachment. We should control our mind. Then we can all become like Mahavira. India is showing the world the way to peace and universal humanism. It is developing a sense of kinship with all nations. During the COVID-19 crisis, India has saved people’s lives around the world by finding a vaccine and distributing it to the world for free,” he said, adding that Indian scientists had conducted several human experiments.
He praised KLE Society Honorary Chairman Prabhakar Kore and appreciated his contribution in the field of education and health.
In response to the congratulations of Dr. Kore thanked the Jain community for their contribution to the economy.
“Mahavira dedicated his life to human welfare and worked for world peace. Similarly, Basaveshwara in the 12th century fought against discrimination on the basis of caste, religion, religion and gender. We should all follow the path shown by such great men,” he said.
MLA Abhay Patil, former MLA Sanjay Patil spoke.
