DREAM TO DESTINY
Dreams visualized in our sleep vanish when we open our eyes. Whereas, if we
dream with eyes wide open and work towards realizing it, then we are destined to
achieve it.
Yug Diwakar Pujya Gurudev has visualized several dreams with eyes wide open, and his exceptional faith and tireless efforts has led to the establishment of Arham Yuva Group, Look 'n' Learn, Parasdham, Pawandham, Pavitradham and various other
missions. One of his dreams is to translate Lord Mahāvira's preachings, the Āgamas in
English.
It was in December 2011 at Parasdham - Ghatkopar that the Āgama scriptures were republished and then presented in a magnificent ceremony. As advised, these Agama scriptures were then distributed to several homes and individuals. These scriptures helped individuals understand their true identity and took them a step closer towards Parmatma.
This January 2012, Pawandham-Kandivali held an equally grand Āgama celebration. The English translation of the Āgama will help the youth of today in India and abroad learn and understand Lord Mahāvīra's preachings.
More than fifty learned intellectuals from different countries and cultures have supported Pujya Gurudev's mission of translating the Āgama's into English. In addition, the editing and publication activities of this enormous mission got the required guidance from the holy and divine monks and nuns of various religious sects.
