BEGINNING OF GRUHASTHA JOURNEY


In 1985, Pu. Gurudev Pankajbhai entered into a Marital Relationship Life. He began married Life with Bhavnaben. Life took a new turn.


Elder son Frenil was born in 1987.


Younger son Zenil was born in 1992.

He passed through tough exams of life. Although he worked hard for 18-20 hours a day. He was internally connected with Simandharswami. Facing all difficulties, doing Karma Nirjara. Pu.Gurudev Pankajbhai shouldered all the responsibilities of married life, being on the path of simandharswami. He had no bhav of enemity i.e. Ver Bhav for anyone nor was he an enemy to any single person. Facing all hurdles & odds (Pratikulta) that came, he made up on his own, a total independent Empire in Business.

TURNING POINT OF LIFE TOWARDS COMMITTED DIVINE LIFE


In 1993, in a road accident, 7 ribs of his RIB CAGE were broken, but as a result of his wonderful Sadhna he came out MIRACLOUSLY from disastrous truck accident.

It was a miracle, a strength for him and he got the the gift of a new life. At that time, he decided to surrender his life to the path of Simandharswami. At this time younger son Zenil was just 6 months old. Pujya Gurudev Pankajbhai made a request to Simandharswami : “ Give me an opportunity to become a Sevak on your Path,” so that I prepare myself to reach the Samovsaran at your feet in Mahavideh Kshetra. To reach simandharswami he started the path to illuminate lives of people. He made novel innovations in the path of spirituality in this contemporary modern world such that inrespective of caste, creed, religion, age and nation anybody can follow this path with grace and blessing of Jivit Tirthankar Parmatma Simandharswami. From here onwards , he devoted his DIVINE Life to the path of Simandharswami.

He began devoting his time for SEVA. He started giving Sevas in Sion Hospital, Orphan Homes, in helping Orphan Children to find homes and conducted many Sevas.

From 1993 there was an increasing growth in the surrender Bhav (Samarpan Bhav) to the Path of Simandharswami What in reality is the Vitrag Marg of Simandharswami ? How can we achieve it ?

I will show this Path by my experience to the Modern world. At Present, we are following this path of Simandharswami and spread this all around world and all human beings . His dream of reaching Simandharswami was now becoming true.
