Although the clouds of hatred and war are hovering over the whole world and the destructive bombs are being dropped to destroy innocent life, yet we are fortunate to hear the trumpet call of peace and the whole world is now out to celebrate the Anniversary of a Buddha's enlightenment. Here lies the hope for the humanity, for, it shows that the common people of the world are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of spiritual values of life and are feeling drawn towards the light that dawned from the East thousands of years ago for the enlightenment and emancipation of mankind. Tīrthaṅkaras and Buddhas preached a whole Truth and led the world towards the Goal of Nirvana.
