before only once and after 4-5 months this man who meets thousands of people every day, never took even a second to take my name. My head went bowing into his feet on this part of his personality.
Jayantsen says always leave those who are unheaded and untoed.
Third time it was again Pansar, where I met this great person. I can't forget the lessons he preached there during 11 days camp. The topic he under took was about self-control. For lay-men it was to be practised partially while far saints fully. (Deshvirati and Sarvavirti). He taught us that as a lay man (Shravak) we should follow the path of partial self control for which 12 small vows are laid. By doing or practising these small vows can progress towards the path of full self control and achieve liberation. He also taught us to be prudent in practice, polite in behaviour and humble to every living being, and one gaining these 3 invaluable gems, he will go on progressing, gaining and achieving every goal throughout his life.
Another book 'Re Chir Pravsi' too contains same type of message. Here poet instead of adressing himself, he has appealed to everyone who is passenger in this world and that's why in the beginning of his poem he adresses them as 'Oh dear passenger.....
रे चिर प्रवासी ! यम नियम से जिंदगी होती सफल दुर्लभ मनुज की जिंदगी, इनके बिना होती विफल
यह दृष्टि को निर्मल करे, वर सृष्टि में सुखदा सदा कायम नियम धारण कर चलो, कल्याण मारग सर्वदा
"Oh Dear passenger ! Rarely possible human life succeeds by taking some type of vows, otherwise it goes unsucceeded. It makes our viewing aspect clear and simple by which we will always experience happiness in this world. Also by taking vows we will always find ourself on the path of benefits."
Besides this some of the remarkable achievements carrying his name include :
I have also read some of the books written by him of which 'Namo Man Se, Namo Tan Se' was the most liked, the heading itself has a wide meaning, the sentences in it have un measureable deepness. The most surprising part of this book is that the subject on which it is written consists of only 9 lines. One can guess the intelligence and knowledge of the author. Other books containing holy songs composed by him, books discussing the vastness of Shri Abidhan Rajendra Kosh', some books containing spiritual teachings with short and interesting preaching stories. Some books of short poems are also the highlights of his pen.

Granting Diksha to number of his disciples. Giving great deal of help in republishing of Jain encyclopedia "ABIDHAN RAJENDRA KOSH" Giving guidance in smooth working of All India Sri Rajendra Jain Navyuvak parishad Performing 'Pratista' ceremonies of many temples, Travelling about more than 80,000 Kms., etc.
4) 5)
A book containing 700 couplets 'Jayantsen Satsai' in size they may be short but in meaning they are wide, vast and deep. For eg. these poems of this book are written underneath
वाद-विवाद में जो फंसा, गया सत्य से दूर
जयंतसेन विवाद तज, शांति पा भरपूर । One falling prey to useless discussions goes for away from truth Jayantsen says leave false discussions and hence gain enough peace
सत्य सदा सिर पैर का, झूठ को पाव न हाथ जयंत सेन बेसिर पैर का, करो कभी न साथ
Much has been done, more is being done and much more is expected from him. A man containing 36 types of qualities, containing humbleness, politeness, courtesy, sympathy for others who has discarded all his passions, practising great vows of Mahavira completely and strictly. Regarded as temple of love and wisdom practising selfcontrol and tolerence, has conquered all his senses, in undoubtedly a great man, ineffable i.e. impossible to be described in words and an miracle to be followed.
Truth is always with head and toe, while untruth is without leg and hand

कौन कहाँ कुछ ले गया, जन्मान्तर में साथ । जयन्तसेन वही गया, कृत सकृत निज हाथ ।।
