Pujya Gurudevshri

Born on 26 September, 1966 in Mumbai, India, Pujya Gurudevshri showed signs of divinity at a very young age. He would observe long periods of silence and remain immersed in deep meditation. At age eight, He came across a picture of Shrimad Rajchandraji and entered into a trance for three continuous days.

His extraordinary brilliance led Him to master profound scriptures, effortlessly. He was conferred the M.A. in Philosophy degree with a gold medal, followed by a Ph.D. for His extensive research treatise on Shrimadji’s finest literary creation, Shri Atmasiddhi Shastra, in 1998.

In 2001, Pujya Gurudevshri’s boundless compassion manifested in the form of the glorious Shrimad Rajchandra Ashram, Dharampur, a spiritual sanctuary in South Gujarat where seekers from across the world congregate to elevate themselves.

Fondly known as Bapa and Gurudev, His glance radiates love, His presence envelopes with purity, and His discourse is a call to realise one’s true nature. Following the spiritual path according to the principles of Jainism, His insights are not limited to a tradition or set of beliefs. He propounds the spiritual universal.

Emerging from His experience of the absolute truth is a message for intelligent living and spiritual well-being. Infused with a dose of humour and dynamism, His wisdom is relevant and personalised to our lives today, while centred in the ancient and the timeless.

Envisioned by Pujya Gurudevshri, Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care, the global 10 Care benevolent programme serving humanity, animals, and the environment has touched lakhs of lives. Through the 5 S programme of Satsang, Sadhana, Seva, Sanskruti and Sports, He is galvanising the youth with a higher purpose. Through Shrimad Rajchandra Divinetouch, over 250 value education centres worldwide mould children to blossom to their full potential.

An eminent leader, Pujya Gurudevshri speaks and engages at several international platforms and interfaith events, bridging the gaps with a message of peace, harmony and universal brotherhood.
