Reverend acharya Sri Rajyashsurisvarji Maharaj saheb is a great and very famous acharya in Jainism. He has sacrificed his whole life for the welfare and greatness of Jainism.
ACHARYA RAJAYASH SURISHWARJI AUTHOR OF BHAKTAMARA DARSHAN
He was born on 7-5-1945 in a small city named Nadiyaad in Gujrat. His mother's name was Subhadra Ben and his father's name was Jindas Bhai. His mother saw a white elephant in her dream, when she had conceived him. This dream portends the birth of a king according to the science of dreams. It is significant to note that he is given the diksa name of Rajyash, when he renounced the world at the age of 19. It is also heartening to note that he was referred to as Raja only by great acharyas Jayantsurisvarji and Vikramsurisvarji.
After entering the monastic order he started studying books on all religions. He has got a good command over Jain sastras, Jyotish sastra, Vastu sastra, Shilpa sastra, Mantra sastra, Nyaya sastra, Darshan sastra and Yoga sastra. He is well versed in the sacred literature of Christian, Muslim, and Hindu religions too. He is fluent in Marathi, Gujrati, Hindi, English, Sanskrit, Prakrit, and Rajasthani languages. He can give effective and inspiring talks in any of these languages & can write fluently too. He has composed & written many books in Gujrati, Hindi and English.
He was elevated to the acharya-hood in a very short period of twenty-two years after entering monastic order. Very few people are capable of making it to the acharya-hood. He had a rare courage and urge for yogic practices that he followed the rules of acharya-hood like panchpithika strictly and completed the sadhanas in a very short period. Acharya has been blessed by the Goddess Padmavati mata.
Many ancient tirthas of Jainism like Uvasaggaharam, Benaras, Kulpakji, Godi parshva tirtha, have been renovated and consecrated under his guidance and holy presence.
A record number of 237 people have performed masaksamana (fasting for one manth) with religious austerities at Madras in the year 1991 and about 300 people performed siddhitapa (36 days fasting) at Bangalore in the year 1996. This is the unique achievement in the history of South Indian Jainism.
He served his Gurudev till the last moment of the latter. Like him Rev. acharya Vikramsuriji. Our acharya also chants Bhaktamara daily. His enchanting singing of the Bhakatamara Stotra make the entire congregation spell-bound and enjoy the presence of Lord himself.
