NAMING NUCLEAR SUBMARINE AS INS ARIHANT IS IN BLATANT DISREGARD TO JAIN RELIGION SAYS MUNI SHRI TARUN SAGAR JI
Jain Muni Shri Tarun Sagarji Maharaj, presently holding his chaturmas at Nagpur, has recently expressed his deep sense of concern and displeasure to a group of media correspondents on learning that the nuclear sub-marine recently developed indigenously, has been named as INS ARIHANT. Prime Minister, Shri Manmohan Singh had announced the name at the inauguration ceremony held on the 27th July, 2009. He mentioned that 'Arihant' is the
most revered and respected word for the entire Jain community, which denotes the elimination of all sort of internal' enemies, like pride, anger, violence, attachment, emotions etc. According to Jain philosophy, Arihantha has been the propagator of "Live and let live" and non-violence concepts, meant not only Jain community but by the entire humanity. A submarine, which is used only for mass destruction just cannot be called as 'Arihant'. It would be entirely incorrect and ridiculous to do so.
