President Obama's Diwali Message for Jainism


  President Obama, US refers to  Lord Mahavira and the Tirthankaras in a video that you can watch  here:
American President Obama's Diwali Message states:-

"On behalf of the American people ...In Jainism the occasion celebratess the Nirvana of Lord Mahavira, one of a long line of spiritual leaders known for achieving enlightenment by freeing themselves of base human impulses and emotions. ..."



Incidentally in the video at :-
http://www.whitehouse.gov/video/The-President-Observes-Diwali/
Obama refers to Jainism at about 12 minutes and 45 seconds.
Never has an American President spoken so accurately about Jain and Jainism.

I am thankful to Suraj Nowlakha for information.

Thanks,
