In a landmark spiritual and cultural gathering, Acharya Shri Dr. Lokesh Muni recently led the Global Ahimsa Dialogue in New Delhi, bringing together scholars, monks, media professionals, and youth leaders from across India and abroad. The event focused on the global relevance of Ahimsa (non-violence) in today’s world and how Jain philosophy can guide the path toward peace and sustainability.

During his keynote address, Acharya Lokesh Muni emphasized the importance of modern tools like cinema and digital media in spreading Jain teachings. “It’s time we use storytelling, film, and animation to make the principles of Jainism understandable and attractive to the younger generation,” he said.

The conference also celebrated the efforts of organizations and film studios like Ahinsha Jin Motions Pictures for their initiative to present Lord Mahavir’s life and Jain philosophy through cinematic storytelling.

Young Jains in attendance discussed how content-based platforms can serve not just religious education, but also cultural identity and global peace.

The event concluded with a collective pledge to support more value-based content creation, particularly films, documentaries, and short stories that focus on truth (Satya), non-violence (Ahimsa), renunciation (Tyag) and selfless service (Paropkaar) — the pillars of Jain Dharma.
