Gandhiji the father of the Nation and Muni Santbal. The renunciation by Arishtnemi, in order to stop the violence that was resulting from his own wedding celebration, was in itself full of Satyagraha.
In a secular nation, when a controversial situation arises there is bound to be a dilemma. We have declared our objection to violence. We now have to safeguard from the invasion of politics upon religious sentiments with a cautious approach so that no personal interest is pursued in the name of religion.
Let us all have the noble wish that every 'Deonar' be showered with the holy atoms from 'Pavnar'. (Deonar is the seat of a slaughter-house in Mumbai while Pavnar is the place where the great follower of Ahimsa and preacher of renunciation and charity, Acharya Vinoba Bhave built his Ashram).
Let us enhance the feelings for Ahimsa through fasting and chanting of the Namokar mantra. Let us pray that both the festive occasions are celebrated in a Ispirit of amity and tolerance according to the principle of Bhagawan Mahaveer.
(This is a reprint of the essay that appeared in the wake of 29.3.1999 the day on which Mahaveer Jayanti and Bakri Eid coinicided).
