________________ Shri Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra www.kobatirth.org Acharya Shri Kailassagarsun Gyanmandir What the great Indian minds think 47 Bhagwan Mahavira was an incarnation of non-violence. He triumphed over the world. The principle for which he is worshipped is non-violence. It was Mahavirswami who spread the message of non violence as no other person ever did. - Mahatma Gandhi Bhagwan Mahavira was a superman who had the well-being of all the living organisms at his heart. - Lala Lajpatrai Mahavirswami was the last of the 24 tirthankaras. It was he who brought Jain religion into limelight. Non-violence as a creed spread far and wide. Animal sacrifice in Yagnas (sacrificial fire) has stopped. Hindu religion and Brahmins have given up meat-eating and drinking; and this is due to the infulence of Jain religion. - Lokmanya Balgangadhar Tilak e Bhagwan Mahavira's message is not for any particular community or sect but for the entire world. He was a great tapasvi and propagated truth and non-violence. - Purashottamdas Tandon 221 For Private And Personal Use Only
