Happy 75th Birthday Pujya Jagatguruji!!

On September 24th, 1951, in the village of Hathipura, Gujarat, a light of hope, truth, and inspiration was born. At the young age of 17, he would be reborn with his life's purpose as he accepted his spiritual identity as Shree Avichaldāsji Mahārāja. At the age of 20, he would take on the weight of an entire spiritual and dharmic community and become the Saptama (seventh) Kuverāchārya, Āchārya Shree Avichaldāsji Mahārāja. And at the age of 71, he would accept the highest honor possible to spiritual and dharmic saints within the Sanātan Dharma and take on the name Saptama Kuverāchārya Anant Shri Vibhushit Jagatguru Pujya Avichaldevāchārya Mahārāja (Pujya Jagatguruji). But what is really in a name? Titles only mean something if the individual holding them is aligned to their significance. In the life of Pujya Jagatguruji, we can attest that He has earned every single honor and distinction, and still, no honor is enough to fully capture His dedication, sacrifice, strength, and courage as He has led the Gnyāna Sampradāya on the path of truth. Of His 75 years, He has spent 57 of them in selfless service, spearheading spiritual, dharmic, humanitarian, and environmental initiatives to bring peace, joy, and love to the people and communities around Him. No amount of words can do His life justice, but as His 'Shishyas' (disciples), it is our duty to show Him our gratitude and love. Happy Birthday Pujya Jagatguruji. You have given our lives purposeful direction.
