Bhagwatimat Champaben   

SpacerHorizontalBlack1.gif (44 bytes)

Bahenshri Champaben is known for her dedication and devotion to the path shown by Gurudev Kanji Swami. Such examples of Guru-bhakti are rare in the age in which we live. Born on August 7. 1914, Bahenshri Champaben, also addressed as Bhagwatimat by her followers, had had Jatismarangnan, a realisation of ones own past lives, On Chaitra Vad 8th day of V.S. 1993 (1936 AD). 

She had already experienced oneness with her soul and attained Samyak Darshan. She eventually informed Kanji Swami that she had been present with him in Mahavideha during his then birth as a prince and that they had both listened to Simandhar Swami expounding the true doctrine to KundKundacharya during his stay of eight days, as a result of which the latter returned and composed the Samaysar, the 'Essence of the Doctrine'.  

In token of the veracity of this, she gave a full account of Simandhar Swami's Samosaran,  an elaborate reconstruction of which based on this description can be seen at Songadh. Bahenshree Champaben made an even more startling claim, after the death of Gurudev in 1980, when she stated that he would be reborn as a fordmaker called Suryakirti in the continent of Dhatakikhanda. 

One of Champaben's famous quotation is: 

"Hey soul! If you do not enjoy being anywhere then change your knowing activity and take an interest in your soul. It is likeable within the soul. The soul is filled with happiness; you will definitely like it there. There is no enjoyable place in the universe but it is definitely enjoyable in the soul and only in the soul. So take an interest in your soul."

She attained moksha on May 12, 1990. 


A Humble devotee Pt. Kailash Chandji Jain   

Pt. Kailash Chandji is a well known Jain Scholar and a devoted follower of Gurudev Kanji Swami. Throughout his life, he has been dedicatedly working for the cause of Jainism and non-violence. Originally from Bulandshahar, Pt. Jain has played a major role in spreading Gurudevshri's message to the masses in India and abroad. At the age of 83, he is still making an active contribution to the Jain dharma in every possible way. 

Born at village Tikri under Saradhana Tahsil in the Meerut district, Panditji is the guiding force behind Shri Adinath Kund-kund Kahan Digambar Jain Trust, which taken the task of 'Mangalayatan's development in its hands. Pt. Jain is the Chief Patron of the trust. He had also been instrumental in the berth of Shri Kund-kund Kahan Digambar Jain Swadhyay Mandir, Dehradun, in 1989. This is the only institution in Uttar Pradesh which is completely dedicated to Gurudershri Kanji Swami and Champaben. 

He has treasured the memories of Gurudevshri for the last 42 years. Whenever he talks about Gurudev, he becomes emotional and tears start rolling down his eyes. Every Jain knows him as the one who has been addressing Gurudevshri as 'a great soul who has turned Bharat-kshetra into Videh-kshetra and Pancham-kal into Chautha-kal.' He also says that Gurudevshri will be remembered as a Tirthankar by the generations to come. 'Mangalayatan' is a long cherished dream for him. Let's hope that his dream will come true in the very near future.
