Surat metropolis of Gujarat, famous for trade of diamonds and textiles, is presently shining with the spiritual light of Acharyashree Mahashramanji, the eleventh resplendent Mahasurya of the Jain Shwetambar Terapanth Dharmasangh. Every particle of Surat has become a diamond after getting the touch of Jyoticharan. Peace ambassador Acharyashree Mahashramanji, who showered blessings on his devotees even during his migration, is often roaming for a few kilometers. Acharyashree left the premises of Bhagwan Mahaveer International Concept School shortly after sunrise in the morning to give darshan to many disabled devotees. During this visit of Acharyashree, many devotees got the opportunity to have darshan around their homes, business establishments etc. Acharyashree blessed the lives of many disabled devotees by giving darshan himself. Devotees were delighted to find their deity in their courtyard. Due to this compassion on the devotees, on Wednesday, Acharyashree again completed the vihar of about 12 kilometers to reach the place of migration.
Sadhvivarya Sadhvi Sambudhyashaji and Sadhvi Pramukh Sadhvi Vishrutavibhaji addressed the people present in Mahavir Samvasaran before Acharyashree’s auspicious speech. After that Yug Pradhan Acharyashree Mahashramanji while giving holy response to the huge public present said that renunciation is religion and enjoyment is unrighteousness. Sacrifice with restraint is religion and enjoyment without restraint is unrighteousness. To run the body, a man also has to enjoy the substances. Consuming substances can provide nutrition to the body and can also become a cause of defects. That’s why man should try to develop the consciousness of sacrifice in his life. If a man eats food, he should also have the consciousness of sacrifice and self-control. If speech is to be used, it should also have the consciousness of renunciation and restraint. In food, one should pay attention to how much to eat, how much not to eat, when to eat, how to eat etc. and try to eat health-friendly food with moderation.
Similarly, awakening of the consciousness of renunciation and self-control is absolutely essential in the use of speech. Not speaking unnecessarily, speaking limited, speaking sweetly is also restraint of speech. Keeping silence is a different thing, but even speaking in moderation is no less than silence. Just as the anklet that speaks is worn on the feet and the necklace that remains silent finds a high place in the neck. By speaking less, a man can avoid so many conflicts. Talking too much can also create a situation of fighting etc. Param Pujya Acharyashree Tulsi tried to make people’s life full of simplicity through Anuvrat. Have a restrained life. If there is renunciation and restraint in life, if there is retardation of passion, then one can move forward in the direction of attaining salvation.
Acharyashree gave a pious response to the campers who participated in the Sanskar Nirman Shivir and said that if the students of the Gyanshala also have good values, if there is a lack of astringency, then they can move forward in the direction of attaining salvation.
After the auspicious discourse of Acharyashree, the co-sisters of Sadhvi Trishalakumariji sang the song. Terapanth Kanya Mandal-Surat, after singing the song ‘Charcha Dharo Re’, gave its presentation based on Nav Tatva, then Acharyashree gave holy paths and auspicious blessings to the girls. At the end of the program, Traffic ACP Ajit Singh Parmar visited Acharyashree and received holy blessings.
