Jainism inspires a spirit of mutual love, harmony, and service — Keshav Prasad Maurya
Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya arrived today in Jhansi—the 'City of the Valiant'—for a one-day visit; participating in the Panchkalyanak Pratishtha and Gajarath Mahotsav, he addressed the devotees and the assembled gathering. He also inaugurated a library dedicated to the Jain community.
On this occasion, he sought the blessings of the *Acharyas*, *Munis*, and saints of the Jain community, and, by participating in the religious rituals, offered prayers for the happiness, prosperity, and peace of the state and the nation.
Mr. Maurya stated that India's cultural and spiritual heritage is unparalleled globally. He noted that the principles of non-violence (*Ahimsa*), truth, renunciation, and compassion—propounded by Jainism—continue to provide the right direction to society even today. He further remarked that such religious and cultural events serve to strengthen moral values within society and inspire people to cultivate a spirit of mutual love, harmony, and service.
