The religious leader, who has been visiting various parts of the country to spread the message of tolerance, love, compassion and a meaningful life, told reporters at Navsari on Saturday that at the moment more than 500 Anuvrat Samitis were active in 400 places in the country. Muni was in Navsari to address an ekta sammelan.

He said 800 Jain saints across the country were involved in educating youths to give up addiction. ``We have been holding meditation camps for youths.

Thousands of students have changed their lives after attending our camps,'' he claimed.

Similar camps will be organised for students in Gujarat, where the religious leader has been camping for the past three years.

Though people have gained all materialistic possessions and have become rich, they are not happy and at peace with themselves. One of the main problems they face is this present age is stress, he said, adding, people lack enthusiasm and have become more violent. ``Our camps help participants get rid of tension and stress. Anybody can attend these camps and join the anuvrat samitis.''

Claiming that renowned personalities, including present Delhi University Vice-Chancellor are members of anuvrat samitis, he said the samities were actively working for national integration and emotional harmony.

Observing that all religions preach the same thing, he said when 90 per cent teachings of all religions were the same, why shouldn't all religious heads come together to strengthen bonds between different communities and spread the message of communal harmony.

He said one day all different sects of Jain religion will come together and fanaticism would disappear. ``The day is not far when this country will become the most livable in the world, where there will be no religious dispute and no violence. Everyone will live in harmony with each other,'' he said, however, admitting that there was still a long way to reach that ideal stage.
