Established by Abhay Firodia, Chairman Force Motors, a Pune-based leading automotive company, this Museum represents a significant milestone in preserving and promoting India's spiritual legacy as seen through the lens of Jain philosophy.
Excerpts
Q. Congratulations on creating this marvel which can inspire a couple of upcoming generations with Jainism and Indic values. While you were researching and putting this mammoth project together, what were some of your biggest learnings about religion and spirituality that touched your heart?
A. Religion does not make rules. There are only guidances, but the rest you need to develop yourself. Rituals are only one part of religion, and they have a role in keeping the society together. But the core is values. I must tell the youth that religion should never be a burden; it is liberating—and frees you.
The basic tenet of Jainism is not ahimsa—in fact, it permits himsa for certain things. I would go to the extent of saying that Chapter 2 of the Gita is exactly what Jainism says. Sometimes himsa is your dharma, and if you are a soldier defending your country, then that is permitted.
