We believe that the through the medium of the celebrations at the national level, the great principle of non-violence and universal brotherhood preached by Lord Mahavir will receive wide publicity, the humanity at large would try to practise world brotherhood frogetting animosity, hatred and prejudice against each other. Our nation and the whole world should become prosperous and happy in all spheres of life thereby. With the profound faith and belief we send our heartiest blessings and good wishes to the celebrations at all levels.. 166 Pain Education International
