On the 12th day of the bright fortnight of the month of Paush, Vikram Samvat 2030, in the village of Rata, Shri Manakchandji, son of Shri Jivrajji Sa. Kummat, was born, making the womb of the devout mother, Shrimati Badambaiji, successful.
Shri Manakchandji, endowed with sharp intellect, was engrossed in receiving good education and good manners from his childhood. Even then, while living in the world, he remained detached in his mind, a devotee of humility, wisdom, and gentleness. He flourished and blossomed under the guidance of the revered Acharya Pravara Shri Sohनलालजी M. Sa., receiving the religious teachings given by his parents. In Vikram Samvat 2044, on the 10th day of the bright fortnight of the month of Magh, he took the Arhati Diksha in Bijayanagar and became Muni Priyadarshan, becoming a carrier of the path to liberation.
He studied Hindi, Sanskrit, Prakrit, and other languages, and became engaged in acquiring profound knowledge of Nyaya, Darshan, Agam, and literature. He earned the title of "Ojaswi Vakta" while continuously moving like water on the great path of Samyak Sanjamaradhana.
The personality of the auspicious-sighted, auspicious-spoken, auspicious-doer, revered Priyadarshan Muni Maharaj, was a symbol of harmony, tolerance, and sincerity. He made the saying "Yatha Anto Tatha Bahi" meaningful through his life and conduct.
He has given new dimensions to his creativity as the successful author of the novel "Punyak Ke Path Par," while he has presented the life-memories of the revered Acharya Pravara Shri Sohनलालजी M. Sa. in the form of "Atit Ki Smritiyaan," expressing his devotion at the feet of his revered deity.
