Mahavir Janma Kalyanak April 17th 2019

 

The Directors of the Institute of Jainolgy and the Executive Officers of all the member organisations of OneJAIN extend their greetings all Jains worldwide their best wishes on this auspicious day.

Contemplating on teachings of Bhagwan Mahavir even for one day – today, will cast a bright light of joy and bliss on you. The three basic fundamentals Bhagwan taught us were:

  1. Ahimsa: Love for all living beings – violence towards none
  2. All Life is interdependent – have respect for all
  3. Anekantvad: Everyone has a right to hold a view

On this auspicious day,  a message has been received from the Rt Hon Theresa May MP, the Prime Minister

A communique was received from the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, Vatican City.  The close relationship established with the Vatican has resulted in a regular exchange of greetings on festival days and also exchange of visits by delegates.
