Muni Shri 108 Shreyans Sagar Ji Maharaj

Muni Shri 108 Shreyans 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 5, 1967 at Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh, India. Their pre-monastic childhood name was 'Shri Sumat'. They were born into a pious Digambara household to father Shree Komal Chand Jain and mother Shrimati Shreemati vimala jain, whose deep spiritual values laid the foundation for their future renunciation. Prior to renunciation, they completed their education in ME diploma.

Realizing the transient nature of worldly pursuits, they renounced worldly possessions to embrace the rigorous Digambara ascetic vows. Subsequently, on May 13, 1999 at Nemawar, Madhya Pradesh, India, under the sacred auspices of Guru Acharya Shri 108 Vidya 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 10 sacred rainy-season Chaturmas retreats across multiple Indian states spanning from 2007 to 2016. 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 Shreyans Sagar is residing at Sagra, Damoh, Madhya Pradesh, India for spiritual discourse and vihar, where devotees gather for daily darshan, pure aahar-charya observances, and scriptural discourses.
