MUMBAI, 21 FEBRUARY, 2023 (TGN): The last disciple of Lord Mahavir, Param Krupaludev Shrimad Rajchandraji's ardent devotee and the founder of Shrimad Rajchandra Aatma Tatva Research Centre, Rajnagar, Parli (Maharashtra), Atmatatvagya Param Pujya Premacharyaji (Shri Pravinbhai Mehta - affectionately known as Param Pujya Pappaji by Satsangis) on Friday 17 - 02 – 2023 at the age of 97 years, left his mortal body with Samadhistha Bhav. His cremation was performed in presence of a large public gathering in the center of Parli Research Centre with chanting of mantras on the evening of 18-02-2023.
The foundation of Shrimad Rajchandra Aatma Tatva Research Centre Parli was laid by Param Pujya Premacharyaji in the year 2003. With the understanding of Vitraag science, to advance seekers on the path of Tirthankar Bhagwan and for social service of the tribal people who are suffering from extreme poverty, diseases, the difficult situation of women in running the house, the children engaged in labour instead of education for provision of one meal at home etc. were the two primary objectives set by the most reverend Premacharyaji for the Research Centre.
Param Pujya Premacharyaji guided seekers in India and abroad for satpurusharth through Satsang and Satsamagam. Knowing the inner wisdom of Lord Mahavir and through his revolutionary speech, he would have made a continuous compassionate effort to enlighten the seeker who wanted to attain self-realization by giving appropriate guidance in simple words. His unique style in enlightening and interesting teachings on esoteric topics with simple examples to provide accurate guidance to Satsangis to maintain good behaviour with people in different relationships and progress through Vitraag path. His discourses on topics such as “Paribhraman ni Sampoorna Ahuti”, the secret of the bhakti-marg, the secret of the path of nirvana, the address of Samkit - the simple understanding of the six morals of the soul as the abode of Samyak Darshan, Shri Aatmasiddhi Shastra, provide conviction of his continuously enhancing spiritual progress and have proved extremely beneficial to many seekers embarking on the spiritual path.
For the upliftment of the illiterate and backward people of the rural areas around Parli, His Holiness Premacharyaji initiated four major types of social service areas which has flourished worldwide over time:
Provision of employment, food and health care to 100+ tribal women by Shramik Nari Sangh (NGO for women empowerment); Educating 1000+ rural children through Shree Raj Education Center State-of-the-art English School; Treatment of physical diseases of rural citizens through Shree Raj Medical Centre and provision of one meal of nutritious food daily to the poor through Shree Raj Roti Center established in many towns. Plans for further development in these four areas are being strategised by the Research Centre and the management is continuously working for its implementation.
On Tuesday, February 21, from 3 to 5 p.m., a "Smaranjali"(Memorium) meeting has been organized at Shrimad Rajchandra Aatma Tatva Research Centre in honour of Pujyashri's distinct soul qualities. Everyone is kindly requested to take prasad after the commemorative meeting.
