Friends, as we all know 17th April 2019 is 2617th Janmakalyanak of Bhagwan Mahaveer. A 10 days celebration Gurudeo inaugurated with this lecture. Here is the related brief coverage of it for readers.
"Devanupriya devotees, Chaitra Sudhi Teras is being falling due on shortly. In month of Chaitra, trees start blooming after absorbing the shocks of autumn. There is slow arrival of green leaves as a gift of
spring. Similarly, the world witnessed arrival of a peace messenger on this day 2617 years ago. The world from centuries going through
shocks of violence in various forms like wars, robbery and slavery.
Janmakalyanak and Nirwankalynak days are meant for outer world to memorize Mahaveer. For Jain- it is 24x7 "Mahaveer" till his last
breath. For him even a full life falls short to worship Mahveer. Now
what Mahaveer has gifted the world so that even after gap of 2617
years, world keep His memory alive-?There can be so many replies.
Today, I will discuss His biggest gift to world .Gift Mahaveer gave
is acknowledgement of value of life for all living souls having one to five organs. For any president or ruler, it is too easy to order use of nuclear weapons or air strike or military actions against his enemy.
But it is too difficult to digest post devastating results of wars. One
can only imagine the immense pain the victims were going through.
Killing requires too little time and thought but to save a single life
can be a most difficult job .A surgeon in I.C.U. can confirm this fact.

By simple logic, if we cannot give birth or create a living thing ,how
we are authorized to deprive him his life ?. Friends, it is a myth that a couple can give birth to a kid. They are only the intake providers
for a kid to build body and organs. Unless there is arrival of a soul into the womb of a mother there cannot be birth. Only exception are 
the Sammuchhim category- like mosquitoes getting birth in ponds.
Now let us discuss the case of animals and plants. Mind well, they
also have mind. Can one imagine pain of the family of goats or hens taken out for killing for food. Mahveer's main emphasis was on non
-violence ,leading to a coexistent living. If one has a security feeling that- I will die only natural death, imagine his mental peace. It is
because everyone loves his life irrespective of his issues. Even you
ask a person who has completed 95th age, he will like to see next day and it's sunrise. Nobody like to loose his life at whims of others.
Mahaveer informed violence to be by- 3 tools and 3 methods. Three
tools are mind ,speech and body while 3 ways are direct, indirect and
through consent .He advocated absence from all tools and methods of violence to all of his followers to most maximum possible extent.

We may have failed to follow his path fully as a human race. But
unless one recognizes all living souls at par with our own soul. there
cannot be a permanent peace in world. Years may keep on adding
but note it for sure, that there cannot happiness and peace unless the world learn to value lives of all. My Jain devotees are trying best to
follow Mahaveer's guidelines for non violence. One can vouch it
from their actions and conduct. Not plucking flowers, to use cloth
filtered water for drinking, not eating after sunset like small things
can be quoted as their efforts for taking care of other living ones.
In bigger one, they stay away from food containing roots, eggs and
non vegetarian contents. They are generally peace loving people.
I do hope more people from all spheres of life will join them shortly.
Gurudeo concluded the lecture with a short rhyme as follow.
" Ek Din Eisa Aayega. Jab Nagar Nagar Mein, Jinwani Ho, Nagar
Nagar Mein Tapasya Ho, Har Nagar Ek Dharmasthal Ho, Hum Yahi
Kamna Karte Hai, Mahveer Aapka Path Hamesha Samne Ho ".---!!!.
JAI JINENDRA---------!!!------ JAY MAHAVEER---------------!!!.
