(Paryushan Special)

Bandhu Triputi Pujya Shri Jinchandraji Maharaj is a Jain monk and dynamic orator who travels throughout the world spreading the message of Jainism and the cultural heritage of India. Pujya Jinchandraji initiated monkhood over 55 years ago at a tender age of 8 years along with his parents, two brothers, and sister.

His initial 15 years of monkhood was spent under the strict yet tender guidance of his revered Guruji Acharya Sahri Prem Suriji Maharaj and other respected acharyas. During that time, Shri Jinchandraji underwent rigorous training, including extensive studies of Jain literature and scriptures. Since that initial stage, Pujya Jinchandraji has spent the past 40 years continuing on his own internal journey of spiritual advancement.

At the same time, however, he has worked tirelessly to raise religious awareness and spiritual development for both Jain’s and non-Jain’s. In addition to expounding upon the deep philosophical principles of Jainism in an easy-to-understand manner, questions pertaining to family life, social life, and the religious sphere are explored and explained by him in a way that is both heart-touching and often life-changing. Filled with examples, discussions, and interesting real-life accounts on a wide-variety of topics.

Through Bandhu Triputi Munijis’ inspiration, Shantiniketan Sadhna Kendra was established 25 years ago.Shantidham Aradhana Kendra,was developed nearby 12 years ago .These ashrams are located in the picturesque coastal village of Tithal, near the town of Valsad, in Southern Gujarat.

In India's multicultural society the Parsis have a significant position. They have lived in India for centuries. On Pateti day they visit their temple called the AGIARY. In the Agiary is kept the sacred fire which was brought from Persia when they first came to India and is always kept burning by their high priest. They worship Ahura Mazda, symbolized by fire. They renew their promise to have good thoughts, use good words and perform right actions.These are the three tenets of their religion. The word "PATETI' comes from PATET which means repentance.
