On the sacred occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, Prime Minister Narendra Modi honored the legacy of Bhagwan Mahavir, highlighting the timeless relevance of his teachings rooted in non-violence, truth, and compassion.
In a heartfelt message shared on X (formerly Twitter), the Prime Minister stated, “The ideals of Bhagwan Mahavir have greatly inspired countless people, including me. His thoughts show the way to build a peaceful and compassionate planet.”
Prime Minister Modi emphasized how these values not only shape personal lives but also guide humanity toward harmony and coexistence. He lauded the Jain community for their unwavering efforts in preserving and promoting Mahavir’s teachings across generations.
Underscoring the government’s dedication to safeguarding this spiritual heritage, Modi pointed to the recent official recognition of Prakrit as a Classical Language — a move welcomed with widespread appreciation for honoring the ancient roots of Jain philosophy.
Mahavir Jayanti marks the birth of Lord Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism, whose enduring wisdom continues to enlighten and inspire millions around the globe.
