NOVEMBER 2016 Shavira Sthulibhadrasuriji - By Dr. Renuka Porwal, Mob.: 098218 77327
Sthulabhadra was the son of minister Shakadal who was in love with the courtesan Kosha.
He took Diksa, and stayed at the pictorial gallery of Kosha.
Sthulabhdra passed all his time in watching the dance performances of Kosha - the courtesan of Rajgriha. He always encouraged her to learn very difficult steps.
She tried her best to call him back in this world again.
At last she asked Shulabhadra to accept her as disciple. He became happy and both decided to return to Guru Bhadrabahu.
He, the true hero - the winner of inner enemy, Sthulibhadra was welcomed by Bhadrabahu.
