The program of Akshaya Tritiya festival started from 8.15 am.

The huge Mahavir Samvasaran built for the Akshaya Tritiya Festival adjacent to the Bhagwan Mahavir International School built in the Bhagwan Mahavir University campus was seen full of devotees’ presence even before the arrival of Acharyashree. Keeping in mind the huge presence of people and the number of ascetics, Acharyashree fixed the time for the main program to start at 8.15 am. On Sunday, Yug Pradhan Acharyashree Mahashramanji appeared on the dais and started the Akshaya Tritiya festival by reciting Mangal Mahamantra.

These are the four paths to attain salvation

On the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, great ascetic Acharyashree Mahashramanji gave Akshay blessings to the ascetics of Virat Janmedini and Varshitap present in Akshay Tritiya festival, said that man knows feelings through knowledge, faith through philosophy, Restrains by character and purifies by penance. These four paths are for attaining salvation. Today is also the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya and a day of blissful fulfillment of penance. The partial imitation of the austerity of Lord Rishabh, the supreme ascetic, the Supreme Soul, is the day of prosperity in the form of penance. Lord Rishabh became the original Tirthankara of this present Avasarpini. Before becoming a Tirthankar, he also did the work of cosmic service. While living in a worldly state, he also provided the education of Ashi, Masi and agriculture to the people. He did that work for worldly compassion and discharge of duty. To show the right direction to the society, it is necessary to have a leader in the society.

Lord Rishabh was a social leader and politician

Lord Rishabh was a leader and politician of the society. He was high in worldly life and when he renounced worldly life and took sannyas and became the ruler of religion. His penance started as soon as he took retirement. After one year, Shreyanskumar gave him Ikshuras and performed Parana on this day itself.

A man should try to keep sweetness like Ikshuras in his speech.

Today is also celebrated as donation day. A man should try to keep sweetness like Ikshuras in his speech. Any number of people who have done penance or might have done it outside also, they all deserve approval. While traveling to Vihar with the householders, the virtuous souls also do penance during the rainy season and the householders and the charitable souls also do long penance during the rainy season, that is a special thing. In the field of meditation, penance has an important place. During Varshitap, many rules have also been made for the householders to follow. By doing penance with those rules, the householder can do more good speed. May there be communication of renewable joy and renewable power within everyone.
