Sarsanghchalak Dr Bhagwat meets Acharya Samaysagar Ji Maharaj

The interaction in the presence of Acharya Shri focused on important subjects, including social service, education, self-reliance, compassion for all living beings and the preservation of Indian culture.

During the interaction, various service and public welfare initiatives inspired by Acharya Shri were discussed. These included efforts to make the Dayodaya Gaushala self-reliant, initiatives to provide employment and promote self-reliance among workers through handloom centres, Pratibhasthali educational institutions, Ayurvedic hospitals, and grand stone Jain temples being constructed at various locations across the country.

Through these initiatives, efforts are being made to advance several important objectives, including compassion for living beings, preservation of India’s knowledge traditions, value-based education, healthcare, dignity of labour and protection of the country’s religious and cultural heritage.

An emotional moment during the interaction came when Dr Mohan Bhagwat fondly remembered Param Pujya Acharya Shri 108 Vidyasagar Ji Maharaj. He also shared his memories of having his final darshan of the revered Acharya at Chandragiri Teerth in Dongargarh, Chhattisgarh.

Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Ji Maharaj’s life remains an exemplary embodiment of renunciation, austerity, compassion, Swadeshi, self-reliance and service to humanity. The service initiatives inspired by him continue to guide society towards constructive and positive endeavours.

Dr Mohan Bhagwat spent an hour at the Chaturmas venue of the Acharya Sangh. During his visit, he also saw the Jain temple under construction in Bhopal.
Members of the Jain community, including prominent office-bearers from Bhopal, were present on the occasion. Dr Bhagwat was welcomed with a shawl and shriphal, and was honoured with a traditional tilak.

The interaction in the sacred presence of Acharya Shri 108 Samaysagar Ji Maharaj served as an inspiring occasion highlighting the importance of spiritual consciousness, social service, self-reliance and commitment to India’s cultural values.
