Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: ‘India has always been a global leader in promoting non-violence. However, in recent months, certain incidents in the country have raised concerns that violence is gaining prominence. To restore the respect for non-violence, if it is cultivated in the hearts of every individual, not just the country but the entire world will be safe. To instill non-violence in the mind, movements must be undertaken not on the streets, but in the form of public awareness campaigns’, said Munishri Prabhavsagarji Maharaj.
This Sunday (August 24), the 70th Samadhi Festival (Gratitude Festival) of Charitrya Chakravarti Prathamaacharya Shantisagarji Maharaj will be organized.
