साधना का महायात्री : श्री सुमन मुनि
as your Best Friend, and your best freind will obey you, challenge your destiny and you are the master of your destiny. A poet describes life & destiny:
"None dies before his time, though pierced by thousands of arrows; He whose time has run out, lives not struct only by a blade of grass" I pray honestly
"Oh Thirthankar Bhagwan, please give us the strength, to accept this challenge from Gurudev".
In my humble & innocent knowledge: Gurudev's knowledge is like a dynamo, And when he brushes at us,
The challenge of destiny, springs around there, all over.
Gurudev was the Chief Organiser of "Shraman Mahasammelan" held at Poona in 1987.
Gurudev's aptitude in conducting the Shraman Mahasammelan, speaks volumes of his Organisational mastery, utmost fairness, Incomparable knowledge. Participants fondly recall Gurudev's convincing logic, sense of truth and justice, complete integration with principles of Akhila Bharatiya. Shraman Mahasammelan.
Gurudev is one of the greatest embodiments of calm, confidence, sublime politeness, and inspiring fearlessness.
Gurudev's total faith in fearlessness, complete fairness and absolute humanness, is his greatest philosophy of life & destiny.

Gurudev's discourses are "Oceans of Ecastacy of Realities of Life & Destiny" Gurudev has authored many religious masterpieces of learnings which are invaluable artefacts in Jain literature.
Thus says: Scripture XVI: 1,2,3 in Bhagavad Githa -
"Fearlessness, purity of thought, stead fastness in the yoga of Knowledge, charity,
Self-control,
sacrifice, study of VEDAS austerity, uprightness, non-injury, truthfulness,
Absence of anger, self sacrifice, tranquility,
freedom from slander, kindness to all beings, noncovetousness,
gentleness,
forgiveness, fortitude, purity,
Absence of hatred, absence of conceit these belong to one born for Divine Wealth O, descendent of Bharata",
Gurudev so very rightly says:
"Those who have neither wisdom, nor devotion, neither charity, nor spirituality, neither good conduct, nor maturity, neither religious faith, nor pious habitsare mere useless burdens to Mother Earth, wandering over the world, like deer in the human form."
Gurudev has never believed in any groupism, nor any "flatering" culture Gurudev's Philosophy in a nutshell - Think, Thank and Smile.
