"Highly Self Realized And Enlightened..."




Fortunately, in every recorded history of different religions, great seers and saints take birth at a time when there is too much doubt and confusion about the teaching of Lord. 


In Jain religion, we have been most obliged to such a great seer born in our modern times. 


A highly self realized and enlightened seer was born about 130 years ago in a small town in Saurashtra called Vavania who is known to Jains of all faiths today as Shrimad Rajchandraji.


Shrimad Rajchandraji attained Jatismaran (knowledge of previous births) at age of seven and was able to clearly see and describe His past life. 


In later stage of His life, when Shrimadji was visiting mount Idar, He told the king of Idar that on this mountain, He could see and recall clearly the instances where Lord Mahavira and other Tirthankaras were present here. 


He further stated: Gautam Swami and other disciples of Lord Mahavira attained Moksha at that time, and one of Lord's disciple has taken birth in this time as Shrimad Rajchandra. 


Shrimadji had studied all the Jain and Hindu scriptures before age thirteen and composed His first text, Mokshmala in 3 days, which can be used a text to study Jainism at any level. 


He attained Samyakdarsan at age 23. 


We find numerous examples of His writing that remind us of the original Agam Sutras. 


Shrimadji was able to recall the teachings of Lord Mahavira that He had heard from the Lord and was able to write them in the original words of Lord Mahavira in a very authentic way similar to the one found in the Agam Sutras.
