Seeds of development were introduced in Terapanth by Acharya Kalugani
– Acharya Mahapragya
61st Establishment Day celebration of Parmarthik Sikshan Sanstha, Ladnun
Bidasar, 27 February 2009.
“Falgun Shukla Duj” (Date of Hindi calendar) is the birth date of visionary 8th Acharya of Terapanth - Kalugani who introduces the seed of development in reference to the coming modern era. These seeds were then cultivated by his successor Acharya Tulsi who sprouted the seed into the fruit flooded tree. Acharya Tulsi had chosen the nearby dates of “Falgun Shukla Duj” to start the new initiatives. Parmarthik Sanstha came into existence, Anuvrat Movement rolls down & Adarsh Sahitya Sangh pop up in near by dates. All these three have played a vital role in development of Terapanth.
Continuing the discourse, Acharya Mahapragya said that Anuvrat has widened the playground of Terapanth. Acharya Tulsi took the deep philosophy of Bhagwan Mahavira to the dice of world by the mean of Anuvrat. I am not looking towards the organizations which are working but visualizing that extraordinary power & vision of Acharya Tulsi who had analyzed the future and shape it productively by giving birth to these organizations. Earlier persons who whishes to initiate, spend 3-5 years as a mumukshu but was not being used in any way during this tenure, Acharya Tulsi gave a thought to make this duration of mumukshu life useful and a birth of PSS take place. Though there was a tremendous opposition for not to make such organization of girls but later every one has accepted its importance and now it is like a boon for the female aspirants.
Further he said I cherished the intellectual development but the main parameter whether detachment level has been increased or not, whether nature is transforming or not, whether the quality of politeness, service, tolerance, forgiveness is being developing or not. On the request of collective initiation of all mumukshus, Acharya Shri told that initiation’s decision will be taken after examining & analyzing the ability. 61st year is the new landmark for PSS & all have to work to give it new shape on the foundation of spirituality.
Acharya Mahapragya highlights the contribution of Acharya Kalugani on the eve of his birth anniversary and 61st establishment day of Parmarthik Sikshan Sanstha (PSS).
