nurturing the values of asceticism in Bhaichand's mind. They purported him the meanings of sutra named Vairagya Shatak and IndriyaParajayShatak. These 2 sutras show us the reality of this world and signify the reason for leading an ascetic life. This collectively gave birth to the desire of diksha in Bhaichand's mind. The vacation had come to an end, but his attachment with the gurudev was now in a completely new direction. Bhaichand manifested his desire infront of his mother. Right from the day, Bhaichand had arrived in her womb, Chabalben's ultimate wish was to observe her child dress himself in the pious white attire of Bhagwaan Mahavir and when Bhaichand was willing himself to make her dreams come true, the joy in her heart was simply unmatched to anything else in the world.
But everyone is not fortunate enough to get their pious desires be fulfilled easily? They have to give harsh tests even for the good sake. When Chabalben was ready for diksha, it was an easy-going for Bhaichand to move ahead, but needlessly, his cousin Naanuben, jumped in between and instructed Chabalben to call Bhaichand back.
Those were the days when an Indian woman had to remain poisoned between massive family bondages. They couldn't speak even a single word against the commands of family members. Chabalben had to bring Bhaichand back, although she wasn't willing to do. The opposition of family members seemed extremely powerful and there was hardly any possibility that they would likely permit Bhaichand for renunciation. Hence, Chabalben, Bhaichand and Panyas Mohanvijayji, together decided to organize a secret diksha, as early as possible.
This was simply a great effort and a big dare for all the 3; to plan for a secret diksha against the opposition of the whole family. But they didn't have any other option! On the desired day, Bhaichand left the home forever and arrived in Baroda where Panyas Mohanvijayji was present with his disciples. There was still a month left for diksha and to remain on a safer side Bhaichand was instructed to hide himself in the basement of a Shravak named Virchandbhai Savla. These were the last days of his materialistic life, after which, he had to bedeck himself with the most sacred title of this world, which is of a Sadhu... All the best, Bhaichand!
