- The adults and children of Orlando presented Acharya Tulsi’s life story in the form of a cultural program called ‘Shri Tulsi Puran’. This meaningful and interesting program was the focus of everyone’s attention.
- Shedding light on ‘Acharya Tulsi: A Legend of Spirituality’, Samani Parimal Pragyaji said, “Acharya Tulsi’s life was a spiritual laboratory. In this laboratory, this spiritual ascetic practiced diet austerity, asana pranayama, meditation, seclusion. He improved his practice by seeing his self through self-inspection.”
- While conveying heartfelt gratitude to Acharya Tulsi, the president of the Orlando center, Mr. Ashok Shah said in his statement, “One of Acharya Tulsi’s important gifts is the Saman Shreni. It is a unique and unparalleled blessing for the entire Jain community. It is the result of Acharya Tulsi’s foresight that we are able to keep our religion and culture alive on this foreign land.”
