MOHJITVIJAYJI MAHARAJA
Mota Pandit Maharaj sahebji
On the dark 13th of Aso month (Dhanteras day), of Vikram Samvat 2000, shravika, Smt. Laxmiben Khimjibhai Mota, gave birth to a son akin to a brilliant jewel. Having imbibed the principles of Jainism since childhood, child Mahendrakumar, learnt the underlying depth &wisdom behind them. While doing this, he developed a strong craving to acquire the three jewels viz “Samyag gyan”, Samyag Darshan” and Samyag Charitra”
Seeking the blessings and permission of his parents, he ventured to tread on this path of the three jewels for which he went to grand guru His Holiness Acharya Bhagwant Srimad Premchandrasurishwarji Maharaja to invoke training for renouncement.
Having gauged the memory, understanding, potential and credibility of Mumukshu Mahendrakumar, his guru, His Holiness Acharyadevesh Srimad Ramchandrasurishwarji Maharaja, prompted him to go to Kashi to learn about various philosophies,other doctrines, literature etc from learned Pandits.
With his pleasing personality, ability to convince and strict adherence to Jain code of conduct,Mumukshu Mahendrakumar, succeeded in convincing the most renowned Brahmin Pandit in Kashi, Pandit Shri Hareram Shuklaji to impart learning to a non Brahmin, which until then, he had reserved only for Brahmin students.
During the same time, Mahendrakumar, completed his Ph.D in Philosophy from Benaras Universty. On his return from Kashi, scholar Mahendrakumar continued imparting knowledge to numerous Sadhus and Sadhvijis through his discourses.
In Vikram Samvat 2035, on the bright third day of Vaishakh i.e, on the auspicious golden day of Akshay Trutiya, he renounced this material world alongwith his younger brother Navinkumar and sister Kalavatiben, and accepted Diksha at the hands of Acharyadevesh Srimad Ramchandrasurishwarji Maharaja at Pindwada, Rajasthan and Mumukshu Mahendrakumar got transformed to Muniraj Shri Mohjitvijayji Maharaj Saheb.
Possessing a strong physique, well built, mature and composed, Munishri Shri Mohjitvijayji Maharaj Saheb would render philophical discourses filled with different hues and secrets of the yogic path in his thunderous voice and simple languge which enthralled the audience.
Having command over English, Hindi, Gujrati, Kutchhi, Sanskrit and Prakrit, and armed with wit and wisdom, Pujyashri could spontaneously field ally of questions raised by members of the audience touching varied subjects like Law/ justice, Doctrines, Grammar, Karma Theory, Doctrines of Behaviour and Fundamentals (Vyavhaar Nay & Nischay Nay), Literature, Sociology, Economics, Ancient Geology, several branches of Modern Science etc and offered detailed convincing answers for the same.
While creating awareness of Tirthraksha in a large majority of people through his erudite sermons, Pujyashri became instrumental in motivating Sushravika Darshanaben Nayanbhai Shah to accept a challenging vow of fasting for three consecutive days i.e Attham tapa continuously, until the Supreme Court judgement is rendered on the auspicious SammetShikharji tirth (which she has been continuing with undaunted commitment till date, since the last 23 years)
Having foreseen that there would be a burning need of knowledge, and to ensure that the present generation should not be at loss for want of legacy of Samyag Gyan, visionary Muni Shri Mohjitvijayji along with Muni Shri Yugbhushan Vijayji inspired to establish an unparallel organisation named Gitarth Ganga in Ahmedabad which is engaged in research which shall help in perpetual flow of Samyag Gyan to mass since last two decades.
Whose every drop of blood held reverence to the commands of the Jinas, and who had not been shaken in the most trying circumstances, left his material body on bright third of Shravan month in VikramSamvat 2056.
We bow a crore times to Muniraj Shri Mohjitvijayji Maharaj Saheb, who inspite of being widely acclaimed as “powerhouse of knowledge” by Times of India and today he is blessing the entire Mohjit Vijayji Samuday following his footsteps.

Invincible decoder of the most complex subject matters, cognoscente in various fields and a connoisseur- Acharya Shree Yugbhooshan Suriji is undoubtedly one of the best available knowledge sources.
Born as, Naveen Khimji Mota, on 26th October 1957, at Kolkata Naveen was an avid reader and had an ability to grasp faster. Although Naveen Mota excelled at school, he distinctively found the academics way beneath his abilities and standards. Naveen, youngest of all his siblings grew with learning scriptures.At the tender age of 9, Naveen was stalwart at enormous fundamental scriptures such as Panch Pratikaman, Jiv Vichar and Nav-tatva. A year later,he completed Updhyan to experience the lives of saints.
At 14, while studying Devchandra chovisi he felt withdrawn from the materialistic world and his passion towards spirituality inspired him to take a step further.He then decided to give up schooling and completely strengthened scriptural study, making it his primary objective. Assenting Naveen’s aspiration his parents motivated him into the path of enlightenment under the able mentorship of Acharya Shri Ramchandrasurishwarji M.S.
A perfect blend of young age, mature powerful mind with perspicacity and one of the best pundits of the subject matter,He was the last disciple of renowned Pundit Shree Narayanacharya, who ensured that he gave Naveen a fruitful insight of his rich knowledge. Post completing comparative studies of various religions and philosophies with a rational approach, Naveen was way past convinced that the path for self-development of the inner soul, the route to self-actualization solely lies in devoting his future to Tirthankara’s Path.
In the early years of Sainthood Muni Shree Yugbhushanvijayji ruminated and contemplated subjects of modern astronomy, ancient astronomy, modern Physics and its complex theories like Law of relativity, Gravity, Einstein theories, Chemistry, Biology, International Politics and Bio-technology to name a few. Identifying this phenomenal capability, Acharya Ramchandra Suri M.s. inspired him to interpret and simplify various scriptures having diverse subjects and present it for the benefit of society.
As the responsibilities increased with the post, Gani Shri Yugbhushanvijayji studied deep in Law and order, current affairs, global philosophies and provided an appropriate way to for protection of various Jain Tirth’s such as Kesariyaji, Sametshikharji and Girnarji. In order to spread the awakening Raksha Dharma Abhiyan was inspired and directed by Gani Shree Yugbhushanvijayji which made Jain community realise darkness they were in.
The 23rd April 2008, Chaitra sud Bij, Wednesday, Gani Yugbhushanvijayji was instituted to Acharya Pad at Devlali which is one of the top most position in Jain Sangh. Upon observing that the entire society is decepted through inappropriate modern media, with the same weapon under his guidance an organisation called as ‘Jyot’ was founded in December 2009 which attempted to put modern science and scriptures on the same platform.
Acharya Shree Yugbhushan Suri is undoubtedly an epitome of knowledge and wisdom, possibly the biggest human resource of ancient and unearthed mysteries and facts.
