The life story of Gurudev
Writing letters to the Shravak-Shravika who were mentioned, giving them beneficial teachings and inspiration, giving various instructions to his son Suridev regarding the tasks of the reign, making an amazing plan to keep his equanimity and samadhi intact, regularly reading the discourses of his Gurudev for hours, which were a strong aid to samadhi, noting down the useful parts and recommending them to his son Suridev for enlightenment, supporting and caring for the ascetic Munivar, recommending the well-being of the Sadhvi Sangha who lived far away, etc. - he remained dedicated to these countless self-beneficial tasks.
When doctors came, he allowed them to treat him. But he would tell the doctor, "I am cooperating for my samadhi, you are doing my material treatment, I want to do your emotional treatment. When will you give your love into my hands? When will you come here?" This was his compassion. The river of compassion flowed and flowed, now it had become a roaring Ganga, now it was impatient to merge into the ocean.
The final day also arrived. Even today, Suriji completed his daily jaap from 2:30 am to 5 am. He counted the morning memories. When Prabhuji arrived, he stood up and bowed. He circumambulated Prabhuji. He bowed while standing. He offered the khamasaman to the Pujji. He studied the Samyagdarshan book. He expressed his desire to go to the lecture. He blessed his son Suriji by placing both hands on his head when he went to the lecture and after he returned from the lecture. He wrote down words of benefit.
He continued reading 'Samyagdarshan' until 12:12. Then he suddenly took a turn. His blood pressure increased. His son Suridev immediately arrived. Knowing the situation, he was treated. When the treatment did not work, he was made to listen to the supportive verses of samadhi. He made an association with the Arihant pad, just as his revered Gurudev had done, and departed towards liberation. He made an association with the Arihant pad. He became one in the sound of 'Arihante Sarane Pavjjami'. In between, he bowed his eyelids in darshan-vandana while seeing the images of Shri Shankeshwar Parshvanath Prabhu and Shri Neminath Prabhu. "Gurudev! Are you awake? The opportunity to make the worship you have done throughout your life meaningful has now arrived," etc. When asked these questions, he indicated that his ajapjap was continuing with his fingers. When an attempt was made to fan him with a fan, he instructed twice to stop the fanning. With a very equanimous mind, he became absorbed in natural samadhi and attained death at 3:20 pm. It was the day of Aso Vad 4, Thursday. His son-disciple Suriji had one hand on his head and the other hand in Gurudev's hand. The news of his death stopped the heartbeat of everyone's heart. The shock was beyond measure.
