It is not an accident that our temporary Chairman, Dr. Sachchidananda Sinha and our permanent Chairman, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, both come from Bihar. They are both impregnated with the spirit of the vihara-the invincibility of gentleness, the gospel of India. The Mahabharata says:
“Mrduna darunum hanti, mrduna hanti adarunam nasadhyam mrduna
kinchit tasmat tiksnaram hi mrduth.”
