Shri Singh himself and all the saints put their signatures in the prepared Performa of Vishwa Mangal Go Gram Yatra.
Acharya Nityanand Suriswar Maharaj appealed all to join the movement started by the RSS to protect the Holy Cow.He said that “All of Jain philosophy and ethics can be explained in one word - Ahimsa. Indeed, the Jain dharma has perfected nonviolence not only in action, but also in thoughts. The Jain way of life is a perfect exposition of the ancient Sanskrit saying: Ahimsa paramo dharmaha, ahimsa is the supreme religion. Cow protection and jeev daya are a unique form of nonviolence followed by the Jain community”. Supreme of Sukhi Parivar Abhiyan Gani Rajendra Vijay appealed that it is duty of every citizen in our country to join the movement to ban cow slaughter. Shri Ganiji added that the RSS has done a commendable job by launching the nation wide yatra and it has the support of the Sadhu Samaj. He said only those who adhere to the alien culture can oppose the ban on cow slaughter. Gani Rajendra Vijay also said about Sukhi Parivar Abhiyan that we are going to make a seven acre campus in kawant, Gujarat which will spend Ten crore rupees on different activities, like higher secondary school, hospital, old age home, child care home, spiritual center and Goshala for protect the Go Mata. Gani Rajendra Vijay said that “Ahimsa and jiva daya have made Jains great environmental conservationists. Eco-friendliness is interwoven into their day-to-day living and is based on a feeling of being trustees of the earth. We are like the vanavasis or tribals. We exist in harmony with the earth. The earth takes care of us, and so we take care of her.
After putting their signatures in the Signature campaign, all the audiences took the blessings of the Jain Sadhvis, who were also present on the occasion.
