Gurudev thought that the playful child is joking. He said
Why not, Jainism will be benefited
if you become a sadhu.
Heerji visited Acharyashri everyday. One day he again asked Gurudev
Gurudev! Please accept me as your disciple. I am determined to
accept diksha.
Acharyashri called Heerji's sister and prominent people of Patan society and sought their permission to initiate Heerji. The Patan Sangh (Jain religious organization) gladly gave permission. At last boy Heerji, sitting on an elephant, was taken around in a grand procession. The onlookers exclaimed
A prodigal child, Perched on the elephanthe boks as il prince Gajasukumar (a lamous character from Jain prehistory, the kid
brother of Shrikrishna) has re-appeared.

With Heerji eight other persons accepted diksha. After the diksha Acharyashri announced
Since this moment Heerji will be called Muni Heer-harsh.
After diksha, Muni Heer-harsh commenced his studies.
