I AM MAHĀVĪRA
materialized forms of the propensity of "Let all be happy" The concept of practices preceded by knowledge is our guide. All people are makers of their own destiny and progress.
“The religious principles propounded by me are not purely individual. They are individual-based social once. It is why, I do
not pray for my own welfare, but I pray for the welfare of all the
people to promote universal brotherhood among them.
“Let all the public enjoy spiritual (and physical) welfare. Let the king of the land be religious and powerful. Let there always be rains in time. Let there never be any diseases in all the land. Let there never be any famine, terrorism and thefts. Let there the glorification of the religion offering peace and prosperity to all. Let there be peace to the religious followers, all kinds of
monks and monk-heads, countries, towns, the king and the
public.”
Who may have this kind of prayer for the universe at-large except the 'Great Hero?'
My disciples bowed me respectfully. They assured me to promote the path propounded by me. I was happy. This was my last meeting with the chief disciples. I bade adieu to all of them......
