Mahavira: The Hero of Nonviolence is an illustrated children's story based upon the life of Mahavira, a teacher of the Jain faith. [1]
Mahavira: The Hero of Nonviolence is a story of a young prince, Mahavira, who was destined to teach peace and non-violence. [2] He was born in India and his name was Vardhaman. As he grew, he learned through books and aspired to become a monk. He acquired knowledge through his spiritual journey and achieved the Three Spiritual Jewels. In Jainism, they are called Right Faith, Right Knowledge and Right Conduct. He loved all living things and had no fear. Later figures who practiced peace were Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King.
