Imphal, April 05 2020:
Chief Minister N Biren Singh has sent his greetings to the people on the occasion of Mahavir Jayanti, birth anniversary of Lord Mahavir, founder of Jainism.
"Lord Mahavir is considered to be the supreme preacher of Ahimsa ever born.
He taught that all living beings should live in harmony.
He emphasised on taking five vows - Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truthfulness), Asteya (non-stealing), Brahmacharya (chastity) and Apargraha (non-attachment) to achieve spiritual peace and enlightenment," said the Chief Minister in his message to the people.
"Lord Mahavir believed that enlightenment could only be achieved through practising self restraint...Let us imbibe Lord Mahavir's teachings for promoting peace and enduring happiness of all humanity," said the CM.
