►My aim is to make the Acharya Tulsi’s dream true - Acharya Mahapragya

In the first address of 89th birthday, Acharya Mahapragya said that birth is a luck and life is also a luck. Only those can be successful who can take advantage of this. I got blessing s of Acharya Kalu as  diksha acharya and Acharya Tulsi as education teacher. Acharya Tulsi had started teaching me from the first day of my initiation. Whatever he saw, done and gave, my aim is now to give concrete shape to all those things. Work has been going for developing the moral values through preksha meditation, jeevan vigyan, training in non violence. Millions of people are getting benefits out of them. Now all my energy and life would utilize to shape up the Acharya Tulsi’s dream - this is my only determination.

As the sun started spreading its rays, Sadhvipramukha with its nuns & samanis force came to Acharaya Shri and express their splashing joy and birthday wishes through a song. All are busy in giving birthday wishes to him - some have given through words and some have silently expressed the heart imponderable feelings.

►Your happiness will be my real happiness - Acharya Mahapragya

“I feel lucky to receive the formula of life from Gurudev shri Tulsi and way of life from Aagam. I learn art of life from Ayurveda and non-absolutism gave me the power of positive outlook. It is very true that those who have the relative view rather than absolutism, he would never get tensed, and life will be a bed of rose naturally.

Acharya Tulsi has given me the leadership of that religious group which is very decent and disciplined. I generally live tension free and confident. When such decent disciplined group is there age automatically increases by 10-20 years. I got extra opportunity for my spiritual practices. These practices helped me to overcome many diseases naturally. Happiness of dharmasang will be the happiness of mine.

These thoughts were expressed by Acharya Mahapragya on the eve of “Pragya Diwas” celebration on his 89th birthday to a large gathering.

He said - I have completed 88 years of my life. No body is immortal. And I also don’t believe in the concept of immortality but I believe that man should work till he has the bio energy. We have to think how the problems of family, society, country can be solved. Today minority, majority, reservations like words are dividing the society. No body eager to think about the major interest of nation. We are placing religion on priority over communities.

The “Pragya Diwas” celebration was presided by national treasurer of BJP & MLA Shri Ramdas Aggarwal. In his presidential speech he said that only lucky people got the guru like Acharya Mahapragya. He wished that his Ahimsa Yatra will remain continue for a long period and we will follow him.
Home minister of Rajasthan Shri Gulabchand Kataria also express his view.

Many songs and melodies were spread in the function and all were having the single feeling – Long & healthy life to an 88 year young Sun who is showing royal path of peace & non-violence to world walking bare foots.
