==Synopsis==<br />
Mahavira: The Hero of Nonviolence is a story of a young prince, [[Mahavira]], who was destined to teach peace and non-violence.<ref>{{citation |title=New Children's Book Mahavira: The Hero of Nonviolence by Wisdom Tales Press |url=https://www.prlog.org/12343031-new-childrens-book-mahavira-the-hero-of-nonviolence-by-wisdom-tales-press.html |work=PRLog |date=30 June 2014}}</ref> He was born in [[India]] and his name was ''Varhhaman''. As he grew he learned through books and wanted to become a monk. He acquired knowledge through his spiritual journey and achieved the three spiritual jewels. In the [[Jainism]] faith they were called right faith, right knowledge and right conduct. He loved all living things. He had no fear. Others in later years that practiced peace were Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King.<br />
