Adopt moderation in life: Uikey

Raipur, Jul 05: Many great men, including Lord Mahavir, guided the society for the protection of nature and culture. At the same time, the message was given that earth, water, energy, air, vegetation etc. should not use the nature elements unnecessarily, because matter is in limited quantity. Limited things cannot fulfill the limitless desires of man. Therefore, one should adopt moderation in life. Governor Ms. Anusuiya Uikey said this. She was addressing the National Seminar on Conservation of Nature and Culture. This event was organized by All India Jain Samaj on the occasion of Shashthi Purti of Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni of Jain Sangh. The Governor also extended warm greetings and best wishes to Dr. Lokeshji. Recalling her old days, the Governor said that she had a long association with Jain society. During the college days, the girls of the family of Jain society were her friends. After coming in contact with them, she got an opportunity to get to know Jain society closely and also to live in the company of many Jain sages. Jainism teaches truth, non-violence and harmony. This teaching is reflected in the Jain saints and their followers. The Governor said that for the preservation of culture, Jain sages propounded the ‘Anekant Darshan’. At the same time, they propounded the fundamental principle of ‘Shatjivanikaya’ for the protection of nature and environment.
Appreciating Lokeshmuni, the Governor said that he is constantly striving for the protection of nature and culture. He raised public awareness on the topic of global warming, climate change. Under his leadership, the campaign being launched by the Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti Sanstha against female feticide, and drug addiction, should be much appreciated. For these efforts, Acharya Lokesh ji was felicitated with the National Communal Harmony Award by the Government of India. The Governor expressed hope that he would continue to work in the same way for the upliftment of human values for national character building and for promotion of non-violence, peace and harmony in the world. The program was addressed by Acharya Dr. Lokesh Muni, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi and Union Minister of State for Agriculture Kailash Chaudhary.
