Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday extended warm greetings to the nation on Mahavir Jayanti, emphasising that the life and teachings of Bhagwan Mahavir continue to illuminate the path of truth, non-violence, and compassion. He noted that the Tirthankara’s ideals are spiritually uplifting and remain profoundly relevant in contemporary society.
Taking to X, PM Modi posted, “There is wonderful inspiration in the messages of Lord Mahavira, based on truth, harmony, good conduct, and equality. His great thoughts will forever remain the guiding path for humanity. Let the essence of Dharma be heard, and having heard, let it be comprehended. One should not do to others what is disagreeable to oneself.”
Alongside his message, the Prime Minister showcased glimpses of the Samrat Samprati Museum at Koba Tirth in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, ahead of its inauguration later in the day.
The museum honours Jain heritage and highlights Samrat Samprati’s civilisational contributions.
Its seven wings display over 2,000 artefacts, including idols, manuscripts, paintings, and coins, complemented by modern audio-visual installations for an immersive visitor experience.
PM Modi, moreover, said the museum reflects Jainism’s legacy and offers insight into its evolution. Its inauguration on Mahavir Jayanti underscores Bhagwan Mahavir’s enduring teachings of faith, compassion, and societal responsibility.
