IIMuni Sangh II
Acharya Shree Pushpdant Sagarji Maharaj
|
A great saint is born
on 1st January when the sun was rising at the home of Shri Komalchand Jain and Shrimati Mathuradevi Jain. They were living at Gondiya (Maharashtra). He was
named Sushil by his parents. It was a big family
and lack of financial resources forced the family
to leave their native village Gondia and settled down
at Chhatarpur. At this village too the luck did not
favour the family financial crises. As a result the
child Sushil did not have a childhood but it turned
into a professional phase. He was a wise, clever and tolerent since his childhood and was so
named as "Sushil"
He had education
with problems but was active in all his college
activities and graduated with P.S.C.. His lines
of palms were showing him to attain the heights of
Adhyatma (spirituality).
This came true when he received the chance to feed
Adhyatma Yogi Saint Shiromani Acharya Vidyasagarji Maharaj in 1978. The vairagya of Acharya Vidyasagarji Maharaj, had a great
effect in the mind of child Sushil and he made-up his mind to predecesses him. His mother was a religious lady so she admitted his vairagya emotions.

Shree Sushil took
seven months Brahmacharya vrit and had a great honour
to Acharya Vidyasagar with a great passion towards the
Adhyatma. He achieved Kshullak Diksha in November 1978
and Elak Diksha in 1980 at Nainagiri (M.P.). But he
had an aim to achieve Pancha Mahavrit in his life. His
emotions were so strong to achieve his goal that when
he received a Darshan of Acharya Vimalsagarji Maharaj
than the Great Acharya Vimalsagarji Maharaj sensed
some great qualities in Alak Ksheersagar (Now
Pushpdant Sagar) through his "Man Paryay knowledge"
and started his studies for his advancement as a Muni.
As Sushil was a great devotee with strong will power
so just after 16 days of Elak Diksha he achieved his
Muni Diksha and was named "Muni Pushpdant Sagar".
Although he was younger in age but his thorough
knowledge and deep experienceand personality which was
showing him a true predecessor of fourth samkalin
saint Shiromani Acharya Shree Vidyasagarji Maharaj.
His simple and gentle language was feeding the ocean
into a jar/pot and had a deep effect in the hearts of
the villagers and as a result, other then Jains were
also calling him the Vidyasagar of Chhattisgarh. His
knowledge is a mobile encyclopaedia or a dictionery.
His smiling face and deep knowledge can satisfy any
person's curosity within a minute. While seeing his
Sanyam (tolerance), Sadhana (efforts) and his love to
the young generation he was awarded AcharyaShip (1985)
at Gommat Giri Indore by Vimalsagarji Maharaj |
History repeats itself" is a true proverb. History is being
repeated, many centuries ago two Munis had taken Diksha by their
Acharyas i.e. Pushpdant Sagar and Bhoot Bali. After a short time
Bhootbali turned towards the south and Pushpadant Sagar turned
towards the north. Bhootbali remained alone but Pushpdant Sagar
wrote a great and first Mahagranth "Dhaval Jai Dhaval". The events
repeated in a same manner, at present age and Pushpadant Sagar
Maharaja wrote 250-300 books i.e. Tatvaavatar, Hum Dukhi Kyon, Nishya nahi Nishkarsh kaho, Mrityunjayi pravachan, Bhaktambar Kavya, Zhini ho gai chunariya, Bhagya aur Purusharth, Mahavir Mahavikas,
Saurabh ke Suman, Bodhi Suman, Shata Laishya, Mere Mahavir, Anubhuti
ke suman, Adhyatma aur Vigyan, Suman ke suman, Vishwa Itihas mai
pehali bar, (Nepal Yatra), Lal kile per tis minute Ahinsa, Ahinsa
mai antar, travelled (he does use vehicle but walks long way) along
