Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that India is the custodian of the noble civilisational ethos of ‘Live and Let Live’.
He said that non-violence (Ahimsa) leads humanity towards liberation, and this wisdom has been imparted to society by saints. The Chief Minister observed that the guidance, support and blessings of saints lead people on the path of righteousness and divinity.
Dr. Yadav described Acharya Shri 108 Samay Sagar Ji Maharaj as a living embodiment of spiritual divinity. He said that the Acharya’s Chaturmas in Bhopal is a matter of great fortune and blessings for the people of the State.
The Chief Minister announced that the State Government would convene a one-day special session of the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly and invite Acharya Shri to deliver a discourse in the Assembly, enabling all legislators, public representatives, officers and employees to receive his guidance and blessings.
Dr. Yadav was addressing the Kalash Sthapana ceremony organised during the Chaturmas-2026 of Vidya Shiromani Param Pujya Acharya Shri 108 Samay Sagar Ji Maharaj at Vidyodaya Tirth in MP Nagar, Bhopal, on Sunday. He performed the ceremonial Charan Prakshalan (washing of the Acharya’s feet) and sought his blessings.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that the three books authored by Acharya Shri offer guidance on the three fundamental truths of life.
Addressing the gathering, Acharya Shri 108 Samay Sagar Ji Maharaj said that the principle of Ahimsa does not belong to any one religion but is a universal value. He observed that all those who nurture compassion, kindness, altruism, affection and concern for the welfare of others are true followers of non-violence. The Acharya blessed all those present.
The programme was attended by Minister for Sports and Youth Welfare and Cooperation Vishwas Kailash Sarang, Rahul Kothari, Ravindra Yati, President of the Digambar Jain Panchayat Committee Trust Pankaj Jain ‘Supari’, other public representatives, and a large number of members of the Jain community.
