Jain Acharyas were also performing Chaturmas at Palitana. It is a general practice that different saints staying at Palitana having no communication link with each other and remain indifferent with other sects or Gachha. However, his saint made experiment by establishing links and filling this gap of non communication specially for common religions activities to cultivate the sense of awakening of masses. Due to his indisputable image, he could be able to bring all the Acharyas with their saints and disciples on a common plateform and he was unnanimously made to chair the varius meetings irrespective of seniority. His two disciples viz Panyas Lokendra Vijaiji and Rishabh Vijaiji lead the masses staying at Palitana for performing the work of clearning Palitana. Both of them also used their good offices and influenced the political bosses of Gujarat Govt. to declare the city of PALITANA as HOLY CITY. Thus he became the centre of religious activities at Palitana at that time.
This year too, he has completed Chaturmas at Rajgarh, a sub divisional town in Dhar District of M.P. This district is haunted by short rainfall in the beginning of rainy season followed by heavy and continuous rainfall in September and October which created the conditions of hunger due to crop-failure. He therefore, invited his followers to establish a fund so that food to the hungry people can be arranged. On his call, his followers levishly contributed to the fund. His this act of grace, has been praised very widely and contributed in making him a man of massed. He is completing the age of 82 years and 58 years of his saintly life. I humbly pray the vitrag for his long life to enable him to lead the Tristuitk Sangh for years to come.
निन्दा को ही अपना कर्तव्य माननेवाले अज्ञानियों और मिथ्यादृष्टि लोगों की ओर से शिर काटने जैसे भी अपराधों में जो समभाव से उनके वचन-कंटकों को सह लेता है, परन्तु बदला लेने की तनिक भी कामना नहीं रखता। जो न लोलुप है और न इन्द्रजाली, न मायाचारी है और न चुगलखोर। जो अपनी किसी तरह की प्रशंसा की कामना नहीं रखता और न गृहस्थ सम्बंधी कायों की सराहना करता है। तरुण, बालक, वृद्ध आदि गृहस्थों का कभी तिरस्कार नहीं करता और स्वयं तिरस्कृत होने पर भी तिरस्कार को बड़ी शान्ति से सह लेता है उसका प्रतिकार नहीं करता। जो अपने कुल, वंश, जाति, ऐश्वर्य का अभिमान नहीं रखता और जो सदा स्वाध्याय-ध्यान में लीन रहता है। जो 'मा हणो मा हणो' सूत्र को जीवन में उतार कर कार्यरूप में परिणता करता है। जो स्वपर का कल्याण करने और ज्ञान, दर्शन, चारित्र के आध्यात्मिक मार्ग का परिपालन में सदा उद्यंत रहता है-संसार में ऐसा पुरुष ही पूज्य और समादरणीय माना जाता है।
