Meanwhile it has become a tradition for Terapanth mendicants that the first day of Maryada Mahotsav, one nun and one monk are asking on behalf of all nuns and monks of the Sangh to be accepted to give service for their seniors. Those selected for the service, are taking this responsibility very serious and giving exemplarily cheerful support to the weak.
Very often those are selected who have rambled very far and worked for a long period in public.
