►Acharya Mahapragya: Valuation Of Man Is Not By Size But By Type
“This is the tradition of Terapanth order that it has a chain of Acharya, one followed by other. Terapanth is lucky enough in the sense that each of the Acharya has contributed well to make its foundation stronger and the same task has to be pursued by Yuvacharya Mahashraman.” This view is expressed by Acharya Mahapragya before large gathering on the celebration of 12th Yuvacharya Selection Day of his successor Yuvacharya Mahashraman.”
He continued, “We should first analyze our behaviour. If we see from the dimension of quantity & size, Terapanth is like a bubble in the population of 60-70 millions. But man is not valued from size but from his action, his performance. Acharya Tulsi was very keen about the problems & their solutions. Only that religious community could be stronger who can give the solution to the problems. Acharya Tulsi had initiated the task of resolving the problems and to carry on the same task is success milestone for Acharya & Yuvacharya as per me. Yuvacharya follows the path of Acharya. Today the treasure that the Terapanth is having can’t available easily to any other. Now it is on shoulder of Yuvacharya to pay attention towards the enhancement of power of Saayam & the power of giving.
Acharya Mahapragya said that the development of Yuvacharya had been started long ago when he was a monk and Acharya Tulsi had appointed him as my secretary in Udaipur.
After then he became Yuvacharya. He has developed himself lot and long way is still ahead to develop. In the scientific world, development too would be in scientific manner along with attainment of powers.Yuvacharya Mahashraman said that I bow to master who grants knowledge. The first master of Terapanth is Acharya Bhikshu. Soon after the diksha, I got the rare opportunity to live near to Acharya & to obtain the education under his guidance. Lot can be learnt from his life. I am lucky to have the hands of Acharya Mahapragya on my head. We are very fortunate of having the bright leadership of such a sincere, wise personality.
Expressing his warmth feelings & gratitude towards Acharya Mahapragya, he said nowadays health issue is creating some problem to him. I wish, I took over his half of the trouble so that he lives in peace. I want to serve the Acharya Mahapragya for long time and wish he guides me always.
Sadhvipramukha Shri Kanaprabha ji wishing all the moments to be auspicious said the successful leader is one who move taking his team together and provide solutions to problems in all circumstances. He is just like an umbrella for team. He gave new dreams to their eyes and act like a wind beneath their wings to fly. I wish all the very best & auspiciousness towards the Yuvacharya Mahashraman.
Many monks, nuns and other also express their wishes towards the Yuvacharya Mahashraman.
