The solution is dialogue, the call of non-violent revolution -: Devendra Brahmachari

Mahesh Dhoundiyal - Delhi

For a long time, the atmosphere of war has been prevailing in the world. The destructive war between Russia-Ukraine, Israel-Hamas and now Israel-Iran, along with the possibility of nuclear war, have deepened the clouds of crisis on the existence of human life. While the life of the country and the world is crucified on the cross of violence, war and terrorism, the values ??of life, faith and non-violence are dying in the chaos of distortions and anomalies. In these adverse conditions, the question is who will come forward to save humanity? Who will be the savior for humanity? Who will save it from destruction and annihilation? Lord Mahavir is a light in these crisis situations. In this increasingly complex environment, to spread the message of non-violence and peace of Lord Mahavira in the country and the world, a series of discussions 'Samvaad se Samadhan' has been started under the aegis of Mahaveerayatan Foundation, under which a call for non-violence is going to be given in the financial capital Mumbai on 23 June 2025, in which Lok Sabha Speaker Shri Om Birla will be the chief guest and Maharashtra Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis will be the special guest. A large number of Jain devotees will be inspired by the teachings of Tirthankara Lord Mahavira and will resolve to work towards positive change in society, nation and the world.

The last Tirthankara Lord Mahavira of the tradition of Adi Tirthankara Rishabh is revered not only by Jains but by the entire human society. The usefulness of Mahavira's teachings is timeless, universal and international, many people of the world have drawn inspiration from his life and thoughts. Truth, non-violence, pluralism and non-possession are such principles which will always be accepted and will continue to inspire world humanity. Mahavira's entire life is a living inspiration for the rise of humanity. He has enlightened millions of people with his light. Therefore, Mahavira's religion and philosophy are more important in today's era of violence, war, terror and economic inequality. Today, there is a din of countless questions in the sky of time. Why have we not been able to put into practice what Mahavira preached? Why has faith and belief in human values ??weakened? These are such questions which are making our lives complex and problematic. The solutions to all the problems and complex situations with which man is surrounded are contained in Mahavira's philosophy and principles.

In the light of Lord Mahavira's eternal principle 'live and let live' and the mantra of Indian wisdom 'vasudhaiva kutumbakam', this is a ritual, a discussion-kumbh of deep deliberation-mahamanthana on social and human issues along with the solution of the burning problems of contemporary national and international war, terrorism and violence. Through which, in the atmosphere of war, the message of non-war, non-violence not violence, humanity not inhumanity will be given. Every person has a problem in his mind and every person has a solution in his mind. Everyone should consider one problem as their own problem and the solution of one should be useful for everyone. With a view to not allowing the increasing problem to take the form of an infectious disease in the absence of a solution, a series of programs 'Samvaad se Samadhan' has been started with the objective of presenting the solution of today's problems today. This special undertaking has come into existence to recognize one's existence, connect with the existences of others, create a social identity, make one's existence useful for the society, country and nation. With which the positive and non-violent powers of the country and the world have been connected. The responsibility of establishing new values ??in the society and giving it a beautiful shape lies on this undertaking. The common man cannot draw any big line. He can follow the prescribed policies, but he does not have the courage to do something new. From this point of view, it seems necessary that the positive forces of the country and the world should come together and think about the social, religious, cultural, political and global conditions and values ??and create a solid base for the coming generation. From this point of view, the philosophy of Lord Mahavira is the most effective and useful.

The main objective of ‘Samvaad se Samadhan’ is to spread the messages of Mahavira in the country and the world and to try to deal with the complex problems of the country and the world. In the mindset of the era, instead of discipline, licentiousness, instead of sacrifice, hedonism, instead of restraint, indiscipline, violence instead of non-violence are more active. In such situations, how can positive forces contribute to social discipline, non-violence, and restraint? These forces will have to become humble. They will have to reach Mahavira's wisdom and gain a new vision. They should understand that even without letters, the practice of Akshaya can be done. Without the siddhi of words, even words become useless. The country's young generation has to be taken forward with wisdom for the folk journey of compassion, non-violence and peace.

Why only Mahavira for the problems of the age? Lord Mahavira is the amalgamation of all the elements of knowledge, philosophy, character, penance and self-restraint. Mahavira is such a word which is the symbol of unbroken personality. The campaign which is being started in the form of ‘Samvaad se Samadhan’ is a plan to build an unbroken personality. It is a plan to build a non-violent and peace loving human being. It is a plan to build a spiritual and scientific personality. A fragmented personality creates problems. Intellect is not only constructive but also destructive. The dangers have increased more due to the negative attitude being associated with intelligence. If there is emotional development along with intelligence, it can become Kamadhenu. Today in the entire world, tragic and ironic circumstances that play with human unity and consciousness are prevalent everywhere – terrorism is the most prominent among them. Humanity is suffering and affected by many circumstances like casteism, untouchability, communalism, inflation, poverty, beggary, luxury, wealth, indiscipline, lust for power, ambition, oppression and immorality. The above problems might have been influential at different times in some era, but in this era, they are being attacked holistically. When the attack is holistic, its solution also has to be found holistically. When violent situations prevail, the value of non-violence automatically increases.

'Samvaad se Samadhan' is a national platform where thinkers and saints associated with various dimensions of religion, society, governance, education and industry search for solutions through dialogue. Its objective is to spread the values ??of compassion, non-violence, harmony and morality to the people through dialogue. This is not just an event, but the beginning of a nationwide and international campaign, which will reach various states of India and many countries of the world with the message of compassion and peace. If we are able to keep the light of Mahavir's teachings with us while setting foot on the unknown paths of the future, then there will be no obstruction in that path.

Mahavirayatan Foundation is striving for its various human welfare and non-violence-peace activities. This multi-faceted event has been conceived considering Mahavira's non-violence and social philosophy effective for controlling violence, war and terrorism. This event is the pronunciation of 'Sachch Loyyammi Sarbhum'. If there is a situation of disarray in any society, then its capabilities cannot be fully utilized. For utilization, it is necessary to focus the capabilities. Every person in the society is a power in itself. Before using this power, it is necessary to make it determined and integrated. Jain society is a society of faith. A society tied in the thread of faith can succeed in climbing even the most difficult path. Society does not run only on the basis of religion. It also expects social, economic and political consciousness along with religious consciousness. The scheme of 'Samvaad se Samadhan' has come into existence to give voice to this multifaceted consciousness. If a voice emerges in a corner of a society of millions of people and gets lost there, then that voice has no meaning. If a voice becomes the voice of millions of people, then a power is born in it. Such power that can shake the whole world can only happen when one voice reaches millions of people, reaches the country and the world. With this aim, 'Samvaad se Samadhan' is moving towards becoming a solid achievement of the present. It is like a Kalpavriksha for the problematic world. People living under the shade of the Kalpavriksha remain completely carefree.
