Mahaprajna remembering Acharya Tulsi told that the path (way) shown by Acharya Tulsi is still relevant today. We cannot imagine welfare of world till we understand value of SANYAM. A newly composed song was introduced by Acharya Mahaprajna himself. Sri B. L. Joshi stated: Life of Acharya Tulsi was unique. Acharya Tulsi was born in Ladnun and I got my education in the same place. Acharya Tulsi gave message of Anuvrata and a new definition to religion. He lived his life on those ideals.
Yuvacharya Mahashraman told that some moments come into our life which make us sad and we feel pain - departure of a great personality like Acharya Tulsi was such an incident. Acharya Tulsi thought regularly for development of the university. He gave his acharyaship during his lifetime to Acharya Mahaprajna. We are thankful to Acharya Tulsi for his contributions to humanity. Sadhvi Pramukha Kanakprabha remembered that Acharya Tulsi' s personality had many angles. He was symbol of great labour (purusharth) and equally he was a very lucky person (bhagyashali). Many great thinkers of nation told him that he should not lead a single sect but should give leadership for whole spiritual community. Acharya Tulsi regularly thought how we could develop sangh and society, how we can develop character building of the whole nation. Sri Surendra Choraria also spoke on the occasion.
