Mahawir Jayanti '19

Influenced by Parshwanatha, Wardhamana gave up his Princedom and wandered as a monk - for over 12 years.

And became a personification of Ahimsa.

Severe and intense Chandkaushik was drawn to Mahawira. When his hiss and venomous taunts drew a blank, Chandkaushik struck him.

Mahavira looked upon him; initiated him saying, Shant ho Shant. The rumbling one became calm, retreated into himself.
