It is better to win over self than to win over a million enemies – Mahaveer

The birth anniversary of Bhagwan Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankar – Prophet of Jains, was celebrated with great fervour at Witty International School, Udaipur. A special assembly was organised by students of Grade 5A, where students learnt about the life and noble teachings of Bhagwan Mahavira.

The assembly commenced with Chanting of Namokar Mantra. The young impressionable minds pledged to live a righteous life and follow the ethical principles of Jainism, including Ahinsa- causing no harm to living beings, Satya- to speak the truth, Astaya – not to posses the things that do not belong to you, Brahmcharya – not to indulge in sensual pleasures and Aparigraha – not to get attached to material things.
