Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that the 5 Mahavrats of Mahavir Swami Satya, Ahimsa, Asteya, Brahmacharya and Aparigraha show the path of eternal peace to the materially burnt humanity.
On Mahavir Jayanti, let us take a pledge to follow his path. Mahavir Swami had told that those who win others are heroes and those who win themselves are Mahavirs. Jitendriya means Jain to win himself. In this sense everyone should try to become a Jain, he said.
Chief Minister Chouhan attended the Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Ji Daya Award program in Amarkantak. He distributed prizes to the best cow shelters, cow devotees and animal servants of the state.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that Acharya Vidyasagar is a national saint, whose darshan I have had the good fortune today. I see the image of Mahavir Swami in him. Mook Mati is his wonderful book. Jainism teaches us to conquer others without weapons. Our culture is of Atmavat Sarvabhuteshu, Sarve Bhavantu Sukhinah and Ekatma Humanity. We see the same consciousness in all, want the welfare of every living being.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that taking a lesson from Mahatma Gandhi’s favorite hymn “Vaishnav Jan To Tene Kahiye, Je Peer Parai Jaane Re”, he has made a scheme for sisters to be pampered. I had a feeling to remove the suffering of the sisters. With this scheme, the sisters will become self-reliant and self-confidence will be awakened in them.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that continuous efforts are being made for cow protection and cow promotion in the state. The state government has also started an ambulance service for cows and cattle. One ambulance each is being run in every development block of the state, in which arrangements for a doctor and compounder have also been made. 407 animal ambulances have arrived in the state. Call 1962 for this service.
Chief Minister Chouhan said that liquor vends have been closed in the state from April 1.
Driving under the influence of alcohol will result in suspension of the driver’s license.
Excellent work done in Madhya Pradesh in the field of animal kindness and cow service: Vinay Bhaiya
Bal Brahmachari Vinay Bhaiya said that Madhya Pradesh government is doing excellent work in the field of animal kindness and animal service.
Today, tractors and harvesters have taken the place of oxen in farming. For this reason, the problem of food has arisen in front of the cow dynasty.
He suggested that the Madhya Pradesh government should make such a system that the farmers do not burn the stubble after cultivation, but instead give the straw to cow shelters. Straw is food for animals, man has no right to burn it. The state government is providing husking machines to the farmers on 90 percent subsidy. Straw should not be burnt under any circumstances.
Gopalan Avam Pashudhan Board Chairman Swami Akhileshwaranand Giri said that Acharya Vidyasagar Ji Daya Puraskar has been started for best performing cow shelters, cow servants and animal servants in the state.
There are 1758 active cow shelters in the state, in which there are 2 lakh 87 thousand cattle.
The government has made adequate provision in the budget for cow service.
This year, an amount of Rs 202 crore 53 lakh has been distributed to cow shelters.
Chief Minister Chouhan inaugurated the program with lighting the lamp and worshiping the girl child. Member of Parliament Himadri Singh, Ram Das Puri, Pramod Jain of Jain society, public representatives, dignitaries, cow servants and a large number of common people were present.
