Hold over languages: His speech was sweet, simple and effective even though it was regional. His words and a unique force. Bright words were always on his tongue. His words revealed his high thinking and struck directly on heart. Even the learned persons were astonished with his speech. Liberal like a Sea: He strongly believed in secularism. He treated all religious to be equal. We can hardly see such thinking in any Jain. He held many gods in his worldly activities also. (Anekantvad) Detachment: He never longed for disciples. He has never been worried for preservation of his literature-works after his death. He was always pleased in his own self. He had nothing like personal interest in anything. Liking for loneliness: He lived almost secluded life in his last 15-20 years. He usually read
scriptures and thought on that in depth. He lived peacefully throughout his life. Once the great saint Agam Prabhakar (one who has deep study of scriptures). Shri Punya Vijayaji Maharaj was to go to Patan via Sankheshvar. He was eager to see Shri Nyaya Vijayaji as he considered it to be a great pilgrimage to go to see him. When such a great saint himself came to see Shri Nyaya Vijayaji, it spoke of the greatness of both the saints. It was an extremely joyful event inspiring the people to be devoted to religion.
A Place of Meeting of Saints: Many learned persons came to discuss spiritual matters with Maharaj Shri Nyaya Vijayaji and among them were Mooni Shri Jin Vijayaji, Pragnachakshu Pandit Sukhlalji, Shri Parmanand Kapadia, Mooni Shri Santbalji, Shri Vimla Thakar. Swamy Shri Satyanandi who was the principal disciple of Swamy Shri Shivanandji Maharaj of Haridwar-Hrishikesh, Swamy Shri Chaitnyanandji, Swamy Shri Premanandji and many other including intellectuals from all walks of life. One more bright person of Mandal, Mahant Shri Shantiprasadji also came to see Mooni Shri Nyaya Vijayaji. The people of Mandal were extremely surprised to hear their discourses in Sanskrit. Whenever the famous and highly learned Mooni Shri Jambu Vijayaji came to Shankheshwar, he used to come alone to see Mooni Shri Nyaya Vijayaji. This was a long journey of thirty-six miles. He was then turning back after holding detailed discussions with Mooni Shri Nyaya Vijayaji on various subjects. This indicated his deep devotion and love for Mooni Shri Nyaya Vijayaji.
