The occasion, marked by prayers, reflections, and cultural performances, commemorates Lord Mahavir Swami’s teachings and reaffirms the Jain community’s commitment to fostering peace, compassion, and unity in the world. Through collective worship and fellowship, attendees will seek to imbibe Lord Mahavir Swami’s timeless wisdom and carry forward his legacy of nonviolence, truth, and righteousness.

Following the spiritual proceedings, participants can partake in Swami Vatsalya, a communal meal symbolizing hospitality and fraternity. This gesture of sharing nourishment underscores the Jain ethos of ahimsa (non-violence) and seva (selfless service), fostering bonds of kinship and goodwill among all.

As the world grapples with myriad challenges, the timeless teachings of Lord Mahavir Swami serve as a guiding light, offering solace, inspiration, and hope to humanity. The grand festival in celebration of his birth anniversary stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of this revered soul and the profound impact of his teachings on generations past, present, and future. In the spirit of unity and reverence, Jain families from every corner of the globe are cordially invited to join in this momentous occasion and partake in the collective journey towards peace, enlightenment, and universal harmony.

Shri Nayapadmasagar Surishwarji quoted, “Today, as we commemorate the 2623rd birth anniversary of Prabhu Mahavir, let us embody the ethos of non-violence in our actions. Reflecting on the diverse culinary offerings and cultural inclusivity, it’s evident that Maharashtra takes pride in its heritage. From Parsi gymkhana to Islamic gymkhana and Catholic gymkhana to Hindu gymkhana, the government’s commitment to fostering harmony through shared experiences is commendable. However, amidst this celebration of diversity, it’s crucial to acknowledge the government’s divine vision and long-term goals. The recent initiatives, including dedicating a plot on Marine Drive for a Jain Gymkhana and establishing the Bhagwan Mahavir University on 25 acres of land, highlight a deeper commitment to nurturing values and traditions. The generous contributions of donors like Motilal Oswal, Sudhir Mehta, and Gautam Adani further underscore the collective effort towards societal welfare and education. As we commemorate Lord Mahavir’s teachings, let us continue to build bridges of understanding and compassion, ensuring a legacy of enlightenment and progress for future generations.”.
