Jain monk and nuns

Jain Monks and Nuns (SADHU AND SADHVI)


Acharya Bhikshu (Jain Monk || Jain muni || jain sadhu ) (1726–1803) was one of the incredible progressive paragons of piety and reformer of Jainism. He was the organizer and first otherworldly leader of the Svetambar Terapanth group of Jainism.

He was a staunch follower of Mahavira and totally submerged his life onto the way given by him. In the starting period of his otherworldly upheaval, he moved out from the gathering of Sthanakvasi Acharya Raghunath. That time he had 13 saints,13 adherents and 13 the essential tenets. This happenstance brings about the name of "Terapanth" (Thirteen Path).
