Gurudev Chitrabhanuji - As the first Jain Master in more than 2600 years, Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanuji in 1970 brought to and established in the Western world Ahimsa and Reverence for Life, the heart of Jain Dharma. He was an inspiring messenger of Ahimsa and a founding father of a Jain Center, similar to an airport where the Dharma plane can land. For this cause he traveled thousands of miles from the East to the West. For the last 40 years Gurudev Shree Chitrabhanuji has helped transplant and expound the age-old essence of the Jain teachings on Western soil and because of his vision, thousands of Westerners have become vegetarians and practice the essence of Reverence for Life and Jain Dharma in their daily lives.
