In Jhabua, Shwetambar Murti Pooja Samaj, Sthanak Vasi Samaj, and Terapanthi Samaj, all three associations together celebrated “Prabhu Mahavir Janma Kalyanak Mahotsav” with great pomp. Unprecedented enthusiasm was seen among the community members of all three associations. Since morning, special prayers and worship were done in front of the dark colored ancient idol of Lord Mahavir in Shri Rishabhdev Bawan Jinalaya. Bhaktaambar Paath and Snatra Poojan were organised. After this, Lord Mahavir's Shobha Yatra started from Shri Rishabhdev Bawan Jinalaya in a silver chariot, in which Gachchadhipati Acharya Jayanand Surishwarji, Acharya Divyanand Surishwarji, along with sadhus and sadhvis also participated. A large number of people from the society also participated. Members of the beneficiary family were sitting in the chariot carrying the idol and picture of Lord Mahavir Swamiji. Young members of the society were driving the Lord's chariot with their own hands. The youth were raising slogans like "Live and let live" and "Trishlanandan Veer ki Jai Bolo Mahavir ki" etc. At many places, Gahuli was performed in front of the statue of Prabhuji Mahavir with Akshat and Shriphal. On the occasion of the birthday, sweets were distributed at many places by Jain Social (Main) Group. The Shobha Yatra reached Jinalaya. After Prabhu Chetyavandan, the religious meeting started in the discourse hall. Sermons were delivered by the Mahatmas.

First of all, Gachchadhipati Shrimad Vijay Jayanand Surishwarji conducted Mangalacharan Shrawan. On this occasion, he said that a person needs to contemplate why he was born in Jainism. If this contemplation is not done, then this human birth will become meaningless. There is a need to impart maximum religious values ??to the new generation. Acharya Divyanand Surishwarji said that we got the qualities of Lord Mahavira but how many did we implement in our life? This is a question worth thinking about. There is a need to imbibe the words of the Lord in the mind so that the mind can be purified. You said that the mind can be purified by adopting these three qualities of seeing good, hearing good and speaking good. Lord Mahavira endured the sufferings but did not face them, due to which he was called Mahavira. Muniraj Vachak Vijay Ji said that Lord Mahavira was born 2674 years ago, but we remember him even after so many years because he became a benefactor for our soul. His belief is still useful in our life that no living being should be hurt because of me. Jhabua Nandan Muni Vidhan Vijay Ji said that we have not really implemented the principle of Lord Mahavira's "Live and let live" in our life because violence of micro-organisms is still happening knowingly or unknowingly every moment, there is a need to stop this. After the discourse, Lord's Aarti was performed. In the end, a program of Swadharmi Vatsalya of the entire Shri Sangh was organized in the private garden.
