Mumbai: ‘Ahimsa Parmo Dharma’ is not merely a term for Jains; it is a way of life, and OMTV is using its platform to promote this idea and knowledge of Jainism throughout society.
With the broadcast of the Jain Mahaparv live event, OMTV enters into the Jainism content space and takes a step towards fulfilling its commitment of spreading knowledge on sanatan dharma which includes Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism and Sikhism.
India, the broadcaster noted, is a land of many festivals, and celebrations occur throughout the year. However, the four-month period beginning with Shravan is the most significant in sanatan dharma, as this is when the most important festivals of the Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain faiths are celebrated.
The great gurus, sages, and sannyasis of India have all endeavoured to preach peace and love to all living beings. To commemorate the concept of nonviolence, Jainism's spiritual leaders have this yearly event of Vyakhyaan.

OMTV is aggregating the live feeds of several gurus from various regions of India so that anyone in the world can view the Vyakhyan on the OMTV mobile application.
Chaturmas is characterised as ‘Vihar Chariya Isinam Pasattha’ by Lord Mahavir. The four months Shravan, Bhadrapada, Ashwin, and Kartik comprise the sacred period of Chaturmas in the Hindu calendar. It begins with Devshayani Ekadashi (Ashadhi Ekadashi) and culminates with Prabodhani Ekadashi. It is a season of devotion, penance, and spiritual pursuits.
