Under the influence of the divine words of Jain Acharya Shri Yogatilaksuriji
A historic celebration took place at Lokbhavan honoring 64 Diksha ceremonies
Inspired by the profound and renunciatory words of the great Jain Acharya Shrimad Vijay Yogatilaksurishwarji Maharaj Saheb, an unprecedented event in history unfolded on Maha Vad 7, dated 8-2-26, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, where 64 Dikshas were simultaneously conducted under a single canopy.
In honor of this Diksha Dharma, on Chaitra Sud 3, dated 21-3-26, a grand event was held at Lokbhavan in Malabar Hill. The gathering was graced by the presence of the Vice President of India Shri C.P.Radhakrishnan, Governor Shri Jishnu Dev Varma, Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis, and Cabinet Minister Shri Mangal Prabhat Lodha. These political leaders highly praised the supreme, virtuous, and sin-free life of Diksha.
As part of the event, various exhibitions were presented by the renowned Jain organization, ‘Adhyatm Parivar‘, which were warmly appreciated by the Vice President and other ministers.
Furthermore, on the occasion of the 64 Diksha Mahotsav, a special acknowledgment was given to the young aspirant, Mumukshu Shri Suvratkumar, who is set to embrace Diksha at the age of 23 on Vaishakh Sud 9, dated 11-5-26, at Lonavala under the guidance of ‘SuriYog’. The Vice President, along with other dignitaries, honored him for his dedication.
Additionally, all the distinguished benefactors who had contributed significantly to the Jain cause—including those who made substantial donations to Adhyatm Parivar for the service and safety of Jainshaasan—were also acknowledged and honored by the Vice President.
Many prominent figures from the Jain community, trustees, and dignitaries witnessed these memorable moments.
Following the conclusion of the event, all attendees were seated and respectfully honored with Sadharmik-bhakti (devotional service/meal for fellow community members).
