Ahimsa Yatra reached Kishangarh.

Kishangarh is a famous city for marble stones.
Hundreds of marble factories are located in the city.

The main attractions in Kishangarh are its Fort and Phool Mahal (Flower Palace), now converted into a hotel.

Thousands of people from every caste & creed welcomed this tour of Ahimsa Yatra.

There were various decorative gates welcoming the Yatra. Every person seemed to be enthusiastic. “The Chariot of Non-Violence” was leading the procession of girls, women & men respectively repeating the slogans of Ahimsa Yatra. On reaching the destination the procession turned out in a huge crowd gathering to listen to the discourse.

Acharya Mahaprajna addressing the crowd said,

“Raw stone come from outside in Kishangarh’s factories to get refined. A stone if not refined can not be useful in building a house or in any type of construction. There are various factories to refine these stones, but is there any factory for reformation of a man? So it is essential for the man himself to refine his instincts such as attachment, hatred, greed, anger etc. Reformation of such instincts will automatically save a man from indulgence in violence. Like a reformed stone, a reformed man becomes valuable for society. Non-violence means refinement.”

These thought were expressed by Acharya Mahaprajna in K. D. Jain High School. Various administrative officers of the district & well-known person of the city attended the lecture.

Continuing the lecture Acharya Shree said,

“We have to catch the initial point of non-violence, right knowledge, right faith & right conduct are the origin of non-violence. A person without right faith can never progress in any field of life.”

“To establish unity in diversity is the practical form of non-violence. Thus every one who wants to practice non-violence should try to understand and co-operate every one around.”

Yuvacharya Shri Mahashramanjee in the lecture:

“A person whose behaviour is in accordance with religion and spirituality will be pure and pious. This is the theory of non-violence. A person who knows to forgive everybody can be a great man.
Unlimited wants give rise to violence, limited need on the other hand makes a man great and happy in it’s real sense.”

Sadhvi Pramukha Kanakprabhajee:

“It is necessary to ponder over the causes of unnecessary violence to establish a non-violence based society.”
