Mysore, Sept. 13 (KCU & KK)- More than 500 devotees participated in a

unique Yati Darshan, a programme organised under the joint auspices of

Avadhoota Datta Peetham and Digambar Jain Samaj in the premises of Sri

Ganapati Sachchidananda Ashram here today.

Jain Munis 108 'Antarmana' Prasanna Sagar Maharaj and 105 Paschim Sagar

Maharaj were felicitated on the occasion.

The programme began with an invocation rendered by the students of Jain

Samaj School. Discourses were given by the Jain Munis. Sri Ganapati

Sachchidananda Swamiji and junior seer Sri Datta Vijayananda Theertha

Swamiji graced the occasion.

CM's Parliamentary Secretary S.A. Ramdas, Addl. DGP Om Prakash,

Exhibition Authority Chairman B.P. Manjunath and District & Sessions

Judge M.S. Bellakki were present.

Speaking on the occasion, MLA Ramdas observed that it was a privilege to

have a darshan of the Jain Munis as they symbolise the Almighty.

Om Prakash observed that following the preachings of the Jain Munis

would cleanse the mind and drive away evil thoughts. People should try

to understand everyone's feelings and respect each other, he advised.

In his discourse, 'Antarmana' Prasanna Sagar Maharaj observed that

amassing material wealth is easy but to become a saint is a difficult

task.

Practising celibacy, loving all, simplicity and sacrifice are the means

to achieve sainthood. One's richness is not defined by his wealth but by

the person's behaviour, he added.

A poor man is one who cannot even spare a few minutes to think of God,

opined the Muni praising the ambience of Ashram which is virtually

overflowing with waves of music, thanks to the efforts of Ganapati Seer.
