Biography
A divine soul was born in the small yet blessed village of Dhamtari (Chhattisgarh) on 11 May 1970 — none other than Bharat Gaurav Acharyashri 108 Pulak Sagar Ji Gurudev. His arrival brought joy, honor, and peace to the family of Shravak Shresthi Late. Shri Bhikamchand Jain and Mahila Ratna Late. Smt. Gopi Devi ‘Kusum’ Jain. Before initiation, his name was Singhai Paras Jain (Guddu/Dai) — a name that reflected the purity and brilliance of his spirit.
Raised in a deeply religious Jain family, Paras Ji developed a natural inclination toward spiritual texts. He listened with devotion to Jain scriptures from his mother and grandmother — the early seeds of renunciation were sown in his heart. The family astrologer foretold that he would become a great saint, illuminating countless lives.
“Spreading the light of Jain wisdom with compassion and truth.”
At 23, after meeting Acharya Shri Vidyasagar Ji Gurudev, his quest for truth intensified. Realizing the impermanence of material life, he took Brahmacharya Vrat on 27 January 1993 at Madhiya Ji Tirth, Jabalpur (M.P.). Impressed by his determination and purity, Acharya Shri Pushpadant Sagar Ji honored him with Alok Diksha on 27 January 1994 at Gopachal Parvat, Gwalior, granting him the sacred pichhi and kamandal. He received Muni Diksha on 11 December 1995 at Anandpuri, Kanpur (U.P.).
By the divine grace of his Gurus, Muni Shri 108 Pulak Sagar Ji discovered the ultimate truth. Moving beyond pride and attachment, he began tireless vihar — traveling across metros and remote villages alike (Delhi, Meerut, Agra, Gwalior, Jaipur, Indore, Mumbai, Surat, Nagpur, Ajmer, Saharanpur, Sikar, and more) to spread the light of Jain dharma with a heart full of compassion.
