Message
am happy to know that the 2600th Birth Anniversary of Lord Mahavira shall be celebrated as the "Year of Non-violence" by the New York branch of the Bhartiya
Vidya Bhavan. Bhagwan Mahavira was the first to raise non-violence from a mere approach or an attitude, to the level of an ethical and moral philosophy - the very essence of all existence. It is more than a coincidence that the greatest apostles of peace and non-violence of all times, belonged to India.
If our troubled world could recapture even a fraction of Bhagwan Mahavira's timeless teachings, it can hope to escape from ignorance, violence and moral decay, which are sapping its VITALS.
My best wishes for the success of the celebrations.
