LATE MUNI SRI MOXRATNA VIJAYJI "Some dears and nears, are dead as deers Let some more, torrents of tears." -Y.I. Antar.
'Death is certain and eternal life is not possible'. The truck came from behind and knocked him down headlong...but the peaceful face was smiling.... as if challenging death and its tortures.
The jewel stolen and the light of knowledge vanished forever.... The fatal accident that sucked the life of the rising sun-like or blooming bud like saint Muni Sri Moxratna Vijayji Maharaj... in his very prime youth age 'Twenty nine' years.... was a terrible quake felt by every talented man.
His biography in Hindi Language 'Baras Rahi Akhiyan' written by Muni Rashmiratna Vijayji Maharaj, the Editor of 'The Nightmare is Over,' now widely read has melted the stony and steel hearts of many. Even now, men and women are grieving for him. Seeing his Tap-Tyaga, one is stunned. How could such a young saint do such brave deeds of abandoning tasty things as fruits, sweets and many such worldly pleasures !
