Upadhyaya Shri 108 Niyam Sagar Ji Maharaj

Upadhyaya Shri 108 Niyam 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.

Prior to renunciation, Upadhyaya Shri 108 Niyam Sagar Ji Maharaj was born in the secular world . Their pre-monastic childhood name was 'Not recorded'.

Realizing the transient nature of worldly pursuits, they renounced worldly possessions to embrace the rigorous Digambara ascetic vows. Subsequently, on Apr 15, 1980 at Moraji Digambar Jain Temple, Laxmipura, Sagar, 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 29 sacred rainy-season Chaturmas retreats across multiple Indian states spanning from 1984 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 Niyam Sagar is residing at Natepute, Maharashtra, India for spiritual discourse and vihar, where devotees gather for daily darshan, pure aahar-charya observances, and scriptural discourses.
