JAMMU, May 23: An eminent thinker and revered saint of the Digambar Jain tradition, Antarmana Acharya Prasanna Sagar Ji Maharaj today visited the Patanjali University.
A grand ceremony was held at the varsity campus in his honour.
Addressing the gathering, Jain Muni Prasanna Sagar Ji Maharaj said, “Yoga Guru Swami Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna are selflessly working for the health of humanity, the prosperity of society and the harmony of the world.”
He praised their deep commitment to the disciplines of Yoga and Ayurveda.
Elaborating the concepts of nature, culture and distortion, the Jain monk said, “One should live in harmony with nature and culture, while a life lived in distortion reflects spiritual poverty.”
In his address at the event, Baba Ramdev, Chancellor of Patanjali University and a globally renowned Yoga Guru, stated that the arrival of Antarmana Acharya Prasanna Sagar Ji Maharaj is not a mere arrival of a Jain monk but a declaration of the purest philosophical contemplation of Indian thought, which is the soul of the Sanatan tradition.
He emphasized that Jainism is the purest form of Sanatan Dharma, guiding the path of penance, restraint, non-violence, and soul consciousness. He said living beyond the qualities of the physical world is the essence of true life.
He noted that Acharya Prasanna Sagar has devoted his entire life to the worship of nature. Being a Digambar monk signifies transcending all bodily attachments and sensations.
Acharya Balkrishna, Vice-Chancellor of Patanjali University expressed his deep reverence by reciting a Sanskrit citation composed of eight verses in honour of the Acharya.
As part of the ceremony, the Jain community honoured Swami Ramdev with a citation.
In return, Patanjali University presented a special citation to Acharya Prasanna Sagar Ji Maharaj, dedicated to his renunciation, penance and spiritual devotion to all of humanity.
The event was graced by Muni Piyush Sagar Ji, Apramatt Sagar Ji, Parimal Sagar Ji, Acharya Naigam Sagar Ji, nuns Mata Gyanprabha, Charitraprabha Ji, Punyaprabha Ji, Prof Sadhvi Devpriya and Prof Mayank Kumar Agrawal,
