Sadhvi Kalp Lata
Sadhvi Mohankumariji (Taranagar), was leaving for Kalavali from Bidasar, for Chaturmas. On the way, there was a village of farmers named Durjanpur (near Nohar). The nuns stayed for a night in that village.
A girl belonging to a non-Jain family was very sick in that village. In spite of undergoing a long treatment, the girl was not able to recover her health. Her family members were quite upset. They came to know that some Jain nuns had come to their village. The father with the sick girl went to the nuns and said, “I have only one daughter and she is sick since a long time. No medicine is effective enough to cure her disease. Today you treat her with your Mantra, I shall be very grateful to you.”
The nuns tried to console her father and told him to recite the Mantra, ‘Om Bhikshu.’ The father returned with his daughter. The girl began to feel better. The man visited the nuns’ place twice and kept on reciting the Mantra. Slowly and steadily, the girl recovered her health. The father continued to apply the name of Bhikshu as the medicine. It was quite astonishing that the man neither knew anything about Jain Mantra nor the nuns told even anything about Acharya Bhikshu but still the girl became well in a few days.
By this incident, a seed of faith in Jain religion and Terapanth Order sprouted in the hearts of that family. They accepted Acharya Tulsi as their Guru and became Terapanthi. This incident became very popular in the near-by villages and faith grew in those villagers too.
