"Greetings of Lord Mahavir Jayanti to all countrymen. The messages of truth, non-violence, compassion and social harmony given by Lord Mahavir Ji will continue to guide human society for eternity. I pray to Lord Mahavir Ji for the welfare of all," Shah posted on X.

While I appreciate the greetings, I wish our leaders would focus more on implementing Mahavir's teachings in governance rather than just ceremonial messages. True non-violence includes economic justice and environmental protection.

The recognition of Prakrit as a classical language was long overdue. Glad to see this ancient language getting its due respect. More such initiatives needed for our cultural heritage!

"Live and let live" - what a simple yet powerful philosophy for today's divided world. Taking my kids to the Jain temple today to teach them about these values. 🌿
