New Delhi: At a time when humanity across the world is suffering due to war, violence and unrest, the message of non-violence and peace given by Lord Mahavira is more relevant than ever. With this spirit, an important review and planning meeting was held on March 23 at Jain Bhavan here, regarding the preparations for Lok-Dharmotsav 2026 to be organized on the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti.
The meeting was chaired by Swami Devendra Brahmachari, founder of the Mahaviraytan Foundation. In his meaningful guidance, he not only provided direction but also clarified the spiritual foundation on which this event can become an inspiration for society.
All members present in the meeting discussed various aspects to make the Mahavir Jayanti celebration on March 25 at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi, grand, well-organized and meaningful, including the event framework, detailed arrangements, and wide public outreach and participation.
On the sacred occasion of the 2625th Birth Kalyanak of Lord Mahavir, this grand national event “Lok-Dharmotsav,” organized under the aegis of the Mahaviraytan Foundation, will be a moment when non-violence will transform into compassion, restraint into culture, and the message of “Live and Let Live” will reach every individual.
This festival is not just an event, but a symbol of an idea that transforms human beings from within and makes them noble. In the words of Swami Devendra Brahmachari, “At a time when the world needs sensitivity and balance, Mahavir’s message is the path that can unite humanity.”
Several distinguished public representatives and eminent personalities are gracing the ceremony, including V K Singh, Governor of Mizoram, Arjun Ram Meghwal, Union Law Minister, Rekha Gupta, Chief Minister of Delhi, Chirag Paswan, Union Minister, Shripad Yesso Naik, Union Ministers Ramdas Athawale, Ajay Tamta, and Arun Singh, MP Manoj Tiwari, and Suresh Jain, National General Secretary of Bharatiya Vikas Parishad.
