For the First Time in Maharashtra, 59 Mumukshus Receive Auspicious Jain Diksha Muhurat; Over 5,000 Devotees Attend

The 5-day Diksha Ceremony will be organised from 4 February 2026 to 8 February 2026 in Borivali (West), Mumbai, by the organisation Adhyatma Parivar. The Mumukshus have come from Gujarat, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and even from the United States. Among them are 18 men and 41 women, all inspired by the teachings and spiritual guidance of Acharya Yogatilaksurisji.

The youngest among them is 7-year-old Tahtiben Sameerbhai Shah, while the oldest Mumukshu is 70-year-old Harkchandji Bachraji Bhansali, a stainless-steel businessman. More than 15 highly educated youngsters, including NRI seekers, have also chosen to renounce worldly life—among them are Sujataben Rajanbhai Vohra (66 years, USA) and Sangeetaben Sanjaybhai Shah (63 years). From Raipur, members of a single family—Ashishbhai, Aryanbhai, Ayushbhai (14 years) and Rituben—will take Diksha. Other notable names include Harshilbhai (Mumbai CA), Jainambhai (IT Engineer, Mumbai), and Sakshiben (PhD Physics, Hinganghat, Nagpur).

Acharya Yogatilaksurisji holds a uniquely revered place in the Jain community. He is the only Jain Acharya to have bestowed over 350 Dikshas in the past 10 years, and currently has more than 100 disciples, considered an extraordinary accomplishment in Jain Dharma.

With the presence of Mumukshus from various Indian states and the USA, thousands of devotees, and highly respected Jain Acharyas, this collective Diksha Muhurat became a moment of pride, devotion, and spiritual radiance for the entire Jain community.
