"Bhagwan Mahavir and the other Jain Tirthankars were great environmental conservationists. They taught us that we human beings are merely trustees of this planet. We need to re-learn their teachings in our times. Eco-friendliness is not a mere fashionable phrase, it has to be interwoven into our development paradigm.
We all have to become Adivasis or Tribals who know how to exist in harmony with the earth. The earth takes care of us, and so we have to take care of her. In this sense, Jainism is the most ancient Green Movement in world history."
That's is the essence of an address by Advaniji, delivered at the "Global Summit of the Jain International Trade Organization", held in Ahmedabad on Saturday,Jan 10.
BEST OF FUTURE
