Acharya Vidyasagar inspired with his commitment to knowledge

A true tapasvi whose life epitomised the ideals of Bhagwan Mahavir, his care towards all living beings mirrored Jainism’s profound respect for life

SANT Shiromani Acharya Vidyasagar Maharaj attained samadhi and left us all saddened. His life was a spiritually rich epoch graced with profound wisdom, boundless compassion and an unwavering commitment to uplift humanity. I have had the honour of receiving his blessings on numerous occasions.

Thus, I feel a deep sense of loss, akin to losing a guiding light that has illuminated the path for countless souls, including myself. His warmth, affection and blessings were not just gestures of goodwill but profound transmissions of spiritual energy, empowering and inspiring all those fortunate enough  to have come in contact with him. Acharya ji will always be remembered as a triveni of wisdom, compassion and service.

He was a true tapasvi whose life epitomised the ideals of Bhagwan Mahavir. His life exemplified the core principles of Jainism, embodying its ideals through his actions and teachings. His care towards all living beings mirrored Jainism's profound respect for life. He lived a life of truthfulness, reflecting Jainism's emphasis on honesty in thought, word and deed. He also led a very simple lifestyle.

It is due to stalwarts like him that the world continues to be inspired by Jainism and the life of Mahavir. He stood tall among the Jain community, but his impact and influence were not limited to the community. People across faiths, regions and cultures came to him and he worked tirelessly towards spiritual awakening, particularly among the youth.
