Mahavir International
Mahavir International was founded at Jaipur in the year 1975, when India was celebrating 2500th Nirvan Centenary of Lord Mahavir with the motto, "Love All, Serve All" Presently, it operates about 150 centres, spread in all parts of the country and abroad in USA, Canada, UK and Australia. The head quarters of the organisation are at present at Udaipur, the President of the apex body being Vir R. S. Bapna, who is assisted by a team of executive members, zonal chairmen, Governing Council members and Executive committees of various centres. Mahavir International stands for translating into practice the ethics of "Live & Let Live" and Lord Mahavir's ideals of non-violence, non-injury, truth, ahimsa, fellow-feeling and brotherhood. These lofty ideals which are of enduring significance belong to the whole humanity and hold good for all times and climes. Mahavir International works for promoting the philosophy and teachings of Lord Mahavir among the people in the whole society as is done by other social organisations like Rotary and Lion International. The doors of this organisation are open to all persons, irrespective of caste, creed or social status. This institution is distinct from others in the sense that it is the synthesis or fusion of spiritual values and social service-oriented materialism. This institution is a repository of Indian cultural and spiritual heritage.
It aims to promote precepts, teachings and philosophy of Lord Mahavir among the people of the world, enshrining the doctrines of truth, ahimsa and love and their practice in life, fostering sense of oneness and unity among different sections of society. The major activities of this institution include education to the poor, medical relief to the needy, eye treatment and eye donations, adoption of wards in hospitals, accident emergency, food bank for help to the poor, blood donations, fighting against alcoholism, drug-addiction and AIDS, vaccinations, help to the handicapped through artificial limbs and Polio correction camps, dental camps, promoting old systems of medicine, like ayurveda, acupressure, acupuncture, nature cure, meditation etc.
