The community has shared fully in the cultural evolution of the country and made substantial contributions to the national religion and philosophy, art and literature. Great was Mahavira's birth, greater still was the life that he led, and the greatest was the Truth that he revealed to mankind in the form of the Jain creed. May the memory of His Holy Preachings inspire in us that breadth of vision, that sprit of toleration and that feeling of humanity which is the highest and most urgent need of the world today.
OM SHANTI
