Muni Vidyavijay Maharaj is the true treasure of knowledge.

Vidyavijaya Maharaj, who enchanted the listeners of every class with his lectures, is the clarity of his eloquence, the clarity of his thoughts and the sum of his knowledge.

This grandson of Gujarat fascinated the non-Jain class of that time. Sathamba village of Mahikantha is the native place of this sage who traveled as far as the Indus province of the then unbroken India. Born in a small village, the light of this great talent spread across the country over time.

If a diamond gets the touch of a jeweler, his real name will come out. His original name is Bechardas. Bechardas also got a touch of such a jeweler. This jeweler is the scholar Vijayadharmasuri Maharaj.

This diamond connoisseur baptized Bechardas and made Muni Vidyavijay (born VS 18, Aso Vad Choth, Diksha VS 18, Chaitravad V, Kaladharma: VS 2011, Magshar Vad Baras, Shivpuri) and made the world The diamond light shone.
