LIVE
AND LET LIVE
Address of Mr. Arun Kothari, President of IMJM on June 25th 1992
It is a historic function to felicitate Guruji on the completion of 50 years of monkhood and 66 years of active life dedicated to the service of society. In addition today happens to be the birthday in the U.S.A. of the World Movement of Non-Violence for Peace and Environment which was launched recently at the Earth Summit.
The establishment of an International University for Non-Violence, as an affiliated institution of the U.N. University for Peace in Costa Rica, and the initiation of a World Movement of Non-Violence, are historic landmarks in the life of Acharya Sushil Kumarji.
We are proud that he has raised the flag of Jainism at the Earth Summit and convinced the world that Jain principles of non-violence and "Live and Let Live" have universal relevance and applicability.
Mahatma Gandhi used non-violence to secure India's independence. Guruji wants to use non-violence to make the Earth a better, cleaner and safer place for all humans to live in harmony with nature.
We pledge him support in his new global mission. His success is humanity's salvation from violence, hatred, wars and conflicts.
To this man of Peace and Non-Violence, we wish many happy returns. We seek his blessings to be noble Jains, compassionate Americans and loving world citizens.
