Om Mangalam Gurudevaya Mahaneeya Gunatmane
Sarvalokaya Saranyaya Sadhurupaya Mangalam
Bhagawan Mahavir was born in Kundanpur Royal family. Having denounced the pleasures of Royalty he
led the life of 'Shraman'- a life of a great self-realized Spiritual Master. He is considered as the twenty fourth
Thirthankar(incarnation) of Jain religion. He was against any sort of violence, be it in thought or in deed. He
propagated non-violence and spread the nectar of love for all mankind. His concept of Ahimsa
(non-violence) was much more widely broad-based than normal, and he desired his followers to lead a very highly
disciplined and pure life. He preached Kewalya Gyan (Knowledge of seclusiveness and detachment) as the ultimate
aim of human life and advocated purity, self-discipline and Tapasya (Deep yogic meditation) to achieve the Ultimate purpose of life.
