Basic Causes That Brought about Religious
Transformation of My Jiva (a) Hearing of religious events and stories right from
childhood from my mother before I went to sleep. (b) My grandfather who sent me to the religious
Pathshala against my wishes and fear of physical
punishment. (c) Heritage from the Pathshala of religious education, an
ethical life, fear of sins and salutation, etc. of Sadhus
and Sadhvis even on the way. (d) Inspiration for religious activities from my extremely
wise and cultured worthy wife along with her loving
care. (e) Religious inspiration derived from revered Acharya
Vinayachandra Suri Shvaraji Maharaj (a pupil of Revered Acharya Shri Vijaya Bhaktisurishvaraji) and his pupil, the great Tapasvi Shri Gunavijayaji Maharaj.
