The Mahakaushal Vihar Seva Group Convention was held with great devotion and enthusiasm at the newly inaugurated hall of Jain Bageecha in Rajnandgaon. Addressing the gathering, Acharya Samyak Ratna Ji emphasized that individuals can attain freedom from suffering and hardships only by following the path of religion and the Jain Sangh.
He said that members of the Jain community are fortunate to belong to the spiritual family of Lord Mahavira, and they should make the most of this privilege by dedicating themselves to religious and spiritual values. According to the Acharya, compassion, kindness, and righteousness are invaluable assets inherited by Jains from birth, and it is their responsibility to strengthen and preserve these ideals.
Vihar Seva Group Compared to a Wish-Fulfilling Tree
Acharya Samyak Ratna Ji described the Vihar Seva Group as a Kalpavriksha (wish-fulfilling tree), saying that just as a Kalpavriksha fulfills the desires of those who seek its blessings, members of the Vihar Seva Group help fulfill the needs of the Jain Sangh and its followers. He noted that those who guide and support monks and saints during their spiritual journeys are themselves progressing on the path toward liberation.
Highlighting the importance of discipline, he advised members engaged in Vihar Seva activities to ensure proper rest after 11 p.m. He further stated that the collective objective of the community should be to practice religion, inspire others to practice religion, and appreciate those who dedicate themselves to religious activities.
Donation Announced for Vihar Seva Activities
During the convention, Rajnandgaon resident Paras Jhabak announced the donation of his house located in Pardi, Nagpur, for the use of the Vihar Seva Group. He also pledged financial support for the renovation and development of the property.

The convention was also addressed by Rajesh Burad from Raipur and several members of Vihar Seva Groups from Durg, Raipur, and other cities. Mohil Kotadia of the Rajnandgaon Vihar Seva Group shared his views on strengthening community service, while Jainam Baid stressed that if every Jain household contributes at least one member to the Sangh, the organization would become even stronger.
Technology for the Safety of Saints
Mokshesh Modi, who attended the event from Gujarat, presented details about a special technological device designed to enhance the safety of Jain monks and saints during their travels. He explained that the device is connected directly to a control room and can help track the location of saints, guide them if they lose their way, and provide additional safety support during their journeys.
Police Assure Full Support
Addressing the gathering, City Superintendent of Police Vaishali Jain reaffirmed the police department’s commitment to ensuring the safety and security of saints and religious leaders. She assured participants that law enforcement authorities would continue to provide all necessary assistance.
