सबके प्रति करुणा से प्रेरित, अहिंसा, सत्य, निष्ठा, निस्पृहता और त्याग का, उनका कालजई संदेश शाश्वत है। उन्होंने सर्वत्र सार्वभौमिक स्नेह का मंत्र दिया और बताया कि सभी प्राणि मात्र, चाहे वो पशु हों या वनस्पति, सब बराबर हैं तथा आदर और करुणामय स्नेह के अधिकारी हैं।
आज जब मानवता कोविड 19 संक्रमण की विभीषिका का सामना कर रही, विशेषकर तब, हमें भगवान महावीर के जीवन, उनकी अनासक्त निस्पृहता, जीवन के प्रति सकारात्मक दृष्टिकोण रखने के उनके आग्रह, स्नेह, शांति और सहिष्णुता के उनके संदेश से शिक्षा और प्रेरणा लेनी चाहिए।

Jain texts state that Mahavira was born in 599 BC into a royal family of Kshatriyas, in Bihar. His childhood name was 'Vardhamana'.
His parents were King Siddartha of Kundgraam & Queen Trishala. Hailing from a royal family, he had all the luxuries of life at his disposal.

He grew up to be a very brave boy & once brought a fierce serpent under control. This earned him the name “Mahavira”.
Luxuries of life gave no satisfaction to Mahavira. So at the age of 30 he embarked on a journey of self-discovery in order to seek the spiritual truth.
