Acharya Shri 108 Pranam Sagar Ji Maharaj

Acharya Shri 108 Pranam Sagar Ji Maharaj is a revered ascetic belonging to the Digambara monastic tradition of Jainism. Fully embodying the 28 Mula Gunas (primary ascetic virtues), Mahavratas, and Bhagwan Mahavira's timeless doctrine of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Aparigraha (non-possession), they are venerated widely across the global Jain community.

Born in the secular world on Oct 9, 1972 at Yavat Taluka Daund, District - Pune (Maharashtra). Their pre-monastic childhood name was 'Sanjeevkumar Jain (Prakhar)'. They were born into a pious Digambara household to father Shri Devendrakumarji Jain and mother Smt Nirmala Jain, whose deep spiritual values laid the foundation for their future renunciation. Prior to renunciation, they completed their education in M.Com..

Realizing the transient nature of worldly pursuits, they renounced worldly possessions to embrace the rigorous Digambara ascetic vows. Subsequently, on Oct 13, 2000 at Shahdara, New Delhi, India, under the sacred auspices of Guru Acharya Shri 108 Pushpadant Sagar Ji Maharaj, they received the sublime Digambara Muni Diksha.

Adhering strictly to the Digambara monastic code of pedestrian travel (pad-vihar without shoes or motorized transport), Pujya Shri has successfully observed 7 sacred rainy-season Chaturmas retreats across multiple Indian states spanning from 2008 to 2026. Their untiring vihar on foot has inspired thousands of devotees to adopt non-violence, truth, and spiritual self-discipline.

Their discourses and daily guidance serve as a profound beacon of wisdom for seekers on the spiritual path.

Currently, Pujya Pranam Sagar is residing at Nemi Nagar, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India for spiritual discourse and vihar, where devotees gather for daily darshan, pure aahar-charya observances, and scriptural discourses.
