Āgama on Nonviolence
.
"2500 years ago, the prince of Kshatriyakund state took vows of "śramana" (monkhood) and left his palatial life and its luxuries in search of truth and true reality". He lead a solitary life wandering in jungles and spending time in deep meditation to conquer evils of anger, ego, deceit, passion, and greed. The twelve and one-half years of such penance, resulted in omniscience achieving the title of "Lord (Bhagvān) Mahāvirā". Showering his infinite compassion, he preached the message of Ahimsa (non-violence), equanimity, and detachment of material wealth. He motivated a person to travel the path of divinity and achieve enlightenment and emancipation. This divine sound was captured by his principle disciples into scriptures (called "Āgama"). Since the Jain Agama are a treasure chest for enlightening the soul and incomparable archive of Worldly wisdom, it deserves to be in every library, university, and institution of the world."
