On April 29, 1950, the first Anuvrat convention was held at the Constitution Club in Delhi where several journalists were present. They raised a number of questions regarding Anuvrat. The questions along with Acharya Tulsi's enlightened answers are listed below.
Q: | Is it necessary to be a Jain or Terapanthi to follow Anuvrat? |
A: | Anuvrat is a moral code of conduct, being Jain or Terapanthi is not a requirement. |
Q: | Does an Anuvrati need to accept you as his/her guru? |
A: | No, he just needs to follow the code of conduct of Anuvrat; Anuvrat is non-sectarian, for people from all walks of life. |
This dialogue helped people to remove the fear for security of their religion and inspired a great many people to participate in this movement.
