New York, September 6: An Indian spiritual leader has been honoured for his work on peace, spiritualism and religious tolerance by a US state of California.

Jain muni Lokprakash Lokesh, founder of Ahimsa Vishva Bharti, who recently undertook a global peace march to promote religious harmony and peace, was presented ‘Key of the City’ by the Mayor Joe Esteves of Milpitas in a ceremony in New York.

Lokesh was honoured for his work on the cause of peace, non violence, spiritualism and religious tolerance, said Esteves.

Stating that the world is passing through difficult a situation, the Mayor stressed on the role played by leaders like Muni to establish communal harmony and peace.

In his address, Lokesh, urged leaders of all religions to find ways and means to propagate peace and brotherhood, as terrorism is wrecking destruction all across the world.

Later, the Mayor visited the Jain temple where some 800 Jains had gathered to welcome the Muni.
