The Governor, Lieutenant General Gurmit Singh (Retd.), today participated in the “World Peace and Harmony Conference” organized by Ahimsa Vishwa Bharti in New Delhi on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Jain Acharya Shri Lokesh Muni Ji. Punjab Governor Shri Gulab Chand Kataria and several other dignitaries were also present at the event.

On this occasion, the Governor said that non-violence, compassion, equality, and brotherhood are essential for the progress of humanity. He stated that this event is not only a celebration of a great saint’s birth anniversary, but also an opportunity to remember and follow the values taught by him, which help bring peace and unity to the world.

The Governor noted that the world today is facing several challenges such as instability, environmental crises, and social inequality. He emphasized that these problems cannot be solved by policies alone, but require inner transformation and positive thinking among people. He added that true peace comes through non-violence, dialogue, and tolerance.

He described the teachings of Lord Mahavira—non-violence, Anekantavada (multiplicity of viewpoints), and Aparigraha (non-possessiveness)—as highly relevant even today. He said that understanding diverse perspectives can help reduce conflicts.

The Governor further said that India has always upheld the principle of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” (the world is one family) and has consistently conveyed the message of unity and brotherhood to the world. He added that the vision of Developed India 2047 is not only about economic growth, but also about development rooted in cultural and moral values.

Appreciating the work of Acharya Lokesh Muni Ji, the Governor said that his efforts in areas such as de-addiction, environmental protection, women’s empowerment, and social harmony are commendable. He extended his birthday wishes to Acharya Lokesh Muni Ji and prayed for his good health and long life.
