Tulsa Jain Sangh Pratishtha Mahotsav 2004
My dear President, Directors,
and Members of Tulsa Jain Sangh,
Jai Jinendra!
May 29, 2004
Blessings to all of you. You are receiving blessings by servicing the cause of Reverence for Life and by providing an environment of purity and sanctity in the form of a temple. The Temple of Bhagwan Mahavira Swami. This Pratishtha Mahotsav is a great occasion for all peace-loving aspirants.
This Temple welcomes one and all, and it is an inspiration to all. People from all walks of life, without discrimination of caste or creed, man or woman, young or old, rich or poor, can come and pray peacefully to get in touch with their inner beauty and tranquility.
The greed of man and the ego of politicians, the narrowmindedness of parochialism and fanaticism of fundamentalists have driven people to separatism and hate. War is dehumanizing. Because of war, exploitation and capitalism, millions of people are being killed, and billions are suffering agonizing pain and torture. In this perplexing climate of fear, suffering and uncertainty, the living message of Ahinsa and peaceful co-existence is an answer. It is a healing and soothing balm.
Vardaman Mahavira lighted the lamps of ahimsa, anekantavada, aparigraha, law of karma, and self-realization. Now it is our privilege to go on pouring the oil of service in these lamps to keep illuminating the path of love, peace, understanding, and simplicity.
