Shri Mahavir Swami and Non-Violence Lord Mahavir taught way to
world peace
"Respect for all living beings is non-violence" - Lord Mahavir
"If tomorrow will come, then it will come with non-violence." -Jain Monk Acharya Sushil Kumar
"I have nothing to teach the world. Truth and non-violence are as old as the hills." - Mahatma Gandhi
"At the center of non-violence stands the principle of love." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Bhagwan Mahavir taught that "all existing, living and breathing sentient creatures should not be slain, nor treated with violence, nor abused, nor tormented, nor driven away." - Acharang Sutra
If we live by this principle of the propounder of Jainism, we will be at peace with ourselves and the world will be at peace. Whatever our religious tradition may be, let us celebrate Mahavir Jayanti (Janma Kalyanak) by recommitting ourselves to a simple but profound idea that all may embrace: Ahimsa.
