A Journalist Becomes a Messenger of Ahimsa and Peace: Acharya Pragysagar
New Delhi : The two-day National Seminar of the All India Jain Editors Federation concluded successfully at Bahubali Enclave, Delhi, in the revered presence of Acharya Shri Pragysagar Ji Maharaj. On this occasion, senior journalist, thinker, and columnist Shri Lalit Garg was appointed as the National Spokesperson of the Federation. The announcement was made by the Federation’s General Secretary, Dr. Akhil Bansal, who also declared the formation of a Women’s Wing of the organization.
The seminar commenced from the historic Lal Mandir in Old Delhi, graced by prominent personalities including Shri Jambu Prasad Ji, President of the Tirth Kshetra Committee, and Shri Jawaharlal Ji, Chairman of the 125th Anniversary Committee, among other distinguished guests.

During the second session, senior journalist Lalit Garg expressed his views as chief Guest stating, “Journalism is meaningful only when it awakens consciousness, harmony, and non-violence in society. The pen should not merely write news—it should write values.”
At the valedictory session, Acharya Shri Pragysagar Ji Maharaj delivered a deeply inspiring discourse, saying: “Journalism is not merely a medium of information; it is the expression of the soul. When faith, spirit, and the power of ahimsa unite behind the pen, it can guide both nation and society. Journalists must make true their devotion and transform their writing into an instrument of restraint, compassion, and awakening.” Blessing Shri Lalit Garg on being appointed as the National Spokesperson, Acharya Shri said, “Your pen shall become the voice of the Federation — a voice of restraint and truth.”
On this occasion, Dr. Jayendra Kirti was announced as the International Spokesperson of the Federation.
