A divine soul was born, in a
very small but fortunate, Dhamtri village in Chattisgarh;
this soul was none other than Muni Pulak Sagar Ji
Maharaj. His birth brought happiness, wealth, respect
and peace in the house of Shri. Bhikamchand Ji and
Smt. Gopi Bai Jain, parents of this child. His name
before Deeksha was just like his soul, Paras, that
means Pavitra. This true follower of Jainism and devotee
of Lord Parasvanath served mankind and preached Jainism
under the guidance of Shri. Pushapdant Sagar ji maharaj.
A Religious Jain Family of Chattisgarh, who spent
their life practicing Jainism with hearted dedication
and devotion, were blessed with a child, named Paras,
on 11th May 1970. The whole family was celebrating
the birth of this extraordinary child. Jain pilgrimages,
Jain temples were visited by the family to thank god.
Shri Bhikam Chand Ji visited the family pandit to
know about the future of Paras. He was overwhelmed
to have a glance at the future of paras, and was told
that Paras is not an ordinary child and will be a
great saint, who will show the light of spiritualism.
As a child, Paras was quite inclined towards religious
epics. Like the parents of many other great saints
Paras’s parents were adorned with the hearts
that shone with purity, nobility and great reverence
to teachers and saints. Paras would listen to JAIN
scriptures with great interest from his mother &
grandmother. The first seed of spiritual life was
sown in his life during this period.
At the very young age of 23, when Paras came in contact
of Samkalin Sant Shiromani Acharya Shri Vidyasagar
Ji Maharaj, his search for truth intensified. Paras
was getting detached from materialistic World, which
can give nothing but instable happiness, sorrows and
grievances. On 27th January 1993, Acharya Vidya Sagar
Ji Maharaj held finger of Paras and helped him to
take his first step towards Spirituality and granted
him Brahmacharya Vrat (Celibacy).
His strong determination, nobility, religious thoughts
also impressed Acharya Shri Pushpdant Sagar ji Maharaj
and he awarded him with "Ailak Deeksha"
on 27th January, 1994 in Gwalior. On this auspicious
day, he received his true spiritual gifts - "Picchi
and Kamandal". Later on, in Kanpur in front of
large masses he was presented Muni Deeksha and Acharya
Shri named him as "MUNI PULAK SAGAR". With
Guru's grace and blessings Muni Shri 108 Pulak Sagar
Ji discovered the absolute truth. Each moment of Paras's
life was overflowing with the divine realization of
existence of One in All. The stage beyond pride &
material attractions was reached. His drive towards
the final destination was started. The journey to
blissful state where nothing can separate one from
God and religion, finally begun.
Muni shri started travelling from one place to another
to preach Jainism and various Jain beliefs to the
ignorant, non- religious people with his motto to
serve mankind. He went to Merrut (U.P), Bholanath
Nagar (Delhi), Saharanpur (U.P), Navin Shahdara (Delhi),
Agra, Gwalior, Jaipur, Indore, Nagpur, Mumbai and
now to Surat. His spiritual ideas, noble thoughts,
great teachings and Jain preaching have helped millions
to lead honest, true and noble lives. His care for
everyone be it a small ant or large elephant, be it
poor or rich, makes him special, for him everybody
is equal. With his aim to serve mankind, he has written
a number of religious books (Sahitaya) like Aakhir
Kyon, Bhookh, Bottal Ka Toofan, Sant Sadhana, Meri
Awaaz Suno, Pratham Sopan, Ram Bina Jag Suna, Prathan
Sopan, Sansakaron Ka Sankhnaad, Anasakt Yogi, Arhat
Geeta, Hai Buddhapa, Kanyadaan and much more. These
show Muni Shri's deep knowledge and religious personality.
Muni Shri is spreading nectar of his great spiritual
ideas through his Pravachans. Everyone can easily
understand Muni Shri's Pravachans, be it Jain or Non-Jain,
as they are for common people. His pravachan awaken
the World and gave it a new direction free from misleading
lives. Thousands of people are inspired by his Pravachans
and to get solace from their worldly afflictions and
to get peace at the feet of Muni Shri Pulak Sagar

of millions goes to Muni shree. He has inspired and
