- In order to protect this earth as it is, Bhishma Pitamah is sleeping on the bed of the arrow and he is not asked what kind of murderous pain he suffered.

How much the tree suffers before it bears fruit. Don't ask that tree. He is not asked how much pain the rose has suffered before smelling. To protect the earth as it is, Bhishma Pitamah slept on the bed of the arrow and was not asked how he suffered the killer's pain.

Despite this murderous pain, they all endured it with a smile on their faces and the people who came later got the earth of Hasti-Raliyamani. Which pain cannot be described. Go and ask the mother how much pain she has in giving birth to your son or daughter. She smiles and says the same thing ઃ what is the pain in this, it is my children.

What did Jains do for the independence of Hindustan? They ask a small question to many people. All he had to say was that a great Jain monk had prepared two rich men to be ready for the sacrifices that had to be made for the freedom of this country and both the listeners accepted the first execution for this country without any hesitation. Of the two, Hukamchandji was the richest. These figures will be realized from above. After his execution, his property was auctioned off for 5,000 acres of land, 5,000 tolas of gold, 5,000 tolas of silver, and 5,000 tolas of gold. All these are the sums written on the record after his execution. How much will the rest be? The other who was hanged was Amarchandji Banthia of his firm in Gwalior and Bikaner and at that time he was also the Raj Treasurer of Bikaner. It’s hard to imagine how much their wealth will be.

Both of them were Jain monks who showed the cult of patriotism. This year marks the second centenary year of his initiation. That is the name of a great man - Shri Manivijayaji Dada. Which is put together in this article.

This is the bicentennial year of the initiation of Shri Manivijayaji Dada, the great ascetic, scholar, totally indifferent person of the time, by whose name people were ready to take diksha, and who constantly worked hard to make his monks excellent cultured and is hardly remembered in the Jain Sangh.

At that time in Surat, the sage of Khartar Gachchh was Shri Ratnasagarji. Was a revolutionary monk. Indian politicians should prepare schools for the people. He brought the matter later but before that this sage Ratnasagarji Maharaj had set up a school in Surat and made arrangements for the education of Jain-Ajain boys. There was a feeling of putting a monk to serve for them. Rander's Jain Sangh reached Manivijayji Maharaj in Ahmedabad. Manivijayaji Maharaj is also confused as to whose condition has occurred. Who to send to serve them. At that time he had initiated someone a year ago and named him Siddhivijayaji. One-year-old Dixit recognized the monk's confusion. He saluted Gurucharan and requested, "Maharaj, send me to serve you if I see fit."

Manivijayaji Dada sent Siddhivijayaji with many blessings. They stayed there for nine years. When they returned, Manivijayaji's grandfather had passed away so he did not meet Guru. But he was not happy that he was able to fulfill the spirit of Guru. This Siddhivijayaji went on to become famous as Siddhisuriji Maharaj. The school built by Ratnasagarji Maharaj is still present in Surat.

It is said in the family of Shri Manivijayaji Dada that even today 40 disciples do Atmasadhana.

May we also attain the path of self-welfare through the holy remembrance of Shri Manivijayaji Dada.
