Raipur, 17 April 2021. Governor Ms. Anusuiya Uike today participated virtually on the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, the eight-day ceremony held on April 17 to 25 and the birth anniversary of Jain monk Acharya Dr. Lokeshji. He bowed to Lord Mahavir Swami on the occasion and wished Jain Municipal Acharya Lokesh a very happy birthday. The Governor said in his address that the philosophy and preaching of Lord Mahavira is universal and relevant. The message of living and living of Jainism is going to show the way to the whole world even today. There are five Mahavrata in Jainism. Any person can make his life successful by following these fasts. Corona are going through a catastrophic crisis of infection. Lord Mahavir Swami used to emphasize tenacity and discipline and restraint. If you follow the life ideals of Jain sages and all saints, then you will remain in harmony with nature and will always be healthy and will also be protected from infectious diseases.
The Governor said that Acharya linked Lokesh ji’s religion to social service, making it a medium to eradicate social evils. Under his leadership, the campaign launched by Ahimsa Vishwa Bharati Sanstha against female infanticide and against drugs is less appreciated.
Ms. Uike said that the launch of Seva Sadbhavna is happening at a time when there is an atmosphere of unrest all around the world. I believe that if anyone can give a message of peace to the restive world, get rid of this world from violence and terrorism, then it is the philosophy of non-violence and a lot of God Mahavir and Acharya Dr. Lokesh ji is the last person to take that philosophy. Has been continuously trying around the world for years. It is noteworthy that his sixtieth birthday is being celebrated by Ahimsa Visva Bharati Sanstha as the Year of Service Sadbhavana.
The Governor said that I am confident that the programs organized by Ahimsa Vishwa Bharati Sanstha in every corner of the country throughout the year under the Year of Service Sadbhavana will provide a big relief to the needy section of the society. The appreciation of such programs is less.
He said that today we see that Jain saints always keep their faces covered, emphasizing non-violence. This leads to non-violence, as well as protecting the body from germs and viruses. Today, there have been such situations that today everyone is urged to wear masks and have to wear masks. From this it appears that if you followed the philosophy of life of Jain-monks, then you would not have to face such a crisis. Lord Mahavira had said in his message that no one is poor or rich from birth. He said that a person should know not by his birth but by actions. Implementing such a principle will promote the ideal of a just social system conceptualized by the makers of modern society.
Acharya Lokesh Muni also gave his address in this webinar. Union Minister Shri Piyush Goyal, Union Minister Shri Purushottam Rupala, Yogguru Baba Ramdev, Shri Ravi Shankar Maharaj and other dignitaries were present on the occasion.
