International Conference on Science and Jain Philosophy 2016
So Jain community should play a proactive role in first celebrating this day as nonviolence day on a very large scale in India along the same scale as the International Yoga day was celebrated on June 21 this year. A policy framework should be prepared for this. Various International organizations should be involved. All religious groups should be brought on the same platform for this purpose. Literature should be prepared in different languages of the world. All heads of states should be communicated about the importance of non-violence in the modern context. In this era of globalization, where communication through satellite technology like internet, emails, wordsapp, sms, digital apps like digital language translators, tweets, Facebook, should be optimally used for this purpose. Seminars and conferences should be organized with organizations working for similar objectives like PETA, WWF and others. Televisions programs and films should be prepared. A small experiment was carried out on this day in 2015 in Ahmedabad. About 10,000 pamphlets in Hindi containing messages of all religious leaders about Ahimsa were distributed in Ahmedabad. A film on ahimsa is being prepared in Hindi which will highlight work of all religions about ahimsa. An essay competition was organized entitled "Gandhi, Ahimsa air Aaj" for sixty departments of Gujarat University. About 280 students from different religious communities actively participated in this competition. Such small examples should be amplified thousands of times. A plan should be made to educated at least one billion people by October 2016. Youths all over the world should be encouraged to join this movement.
