WASHINGTON: An Indian spiritual guru has held talks with US President Joe Biden and urged him to implement "peace education". So that there can be a solution to the growing 'gun violence'.

Acharya Lokesh Munshi, a Jain cleric on a month-long visit to the United States, met President Joe Biden at a Democratic Party event in Los Angeles last week.

Therefore, peace education needs to be imparted from the primary level. If we succeed in doing so, there will be a permanent solution to that problem.

Muni said: The gun is just a tool. The real problem lies in the human mind. I am not saying this just because I am an Indian monk or a Jain saint. This is a scientific truth.

They said: 'Health sciences believe that if a student's sympathetic nervous system is more active than a parasympathetic nervous system, it will become inferior or very aggressive, as has been seen in schools in Texas and Virginia where students are shot and killed. Came. '
