Mr. Dineshchandra & Dr. Ujwala husband and wife were introduced to the great
treasure of Jain philosophy when they were on Dharma Chakra Yatra for 100 days arranged
by Pt. Babubhai Mehta in 1975. Many scholars who are the disciples of Pujya Shri
Kanjiswami taught Jain philosophy during this yatra & thereafter. Both attended
Shri Kanjiswami’s lectures on many occasions and seminars. Their ego of being well
educated was really shattered and they realized that their education and well settled
profession & material life was worthless compared to the philosophy of Jainism.
To undertake deeper study of Jain philosophy both of them took total retirement
from their medical practice & business since Aug 1992 and started doing swadhyay
for nearly 8-10 hrs daily.
They have read nearly all shastras written by Acharyas and total printed literature
of Shri Kanjiswami’s lectures many times and also both of them have given lectures
on these topics.
They also have conducted many seminars (shibir) on different subjects of Dravyanuyog
& mainly Karananuyog. During these shibirs one of them takes 6 hrs lectures
per day for 5 to 6 days on one particular subject. They have conducted many pravachan
tours throughout India as well as USA, Canada, Dubai, London etc. Since 2004 they
have visited USA every year. They also conduct swadhyay at their residence too for
three and half hrs daily since 1992.
They have given lectures and recorded them on many Adhyatma Granthas and Siddhant
Granthas. A unique contribution by them is that Karananuyog was learnt by themselves
and was taught in most easy & simple manner.
During their lectures they read original scriptures by Acharyas in Sanskrit &
Prakrit and then pravachan given by Shri Kanjiswami in Gujarati and then explain
it word by word in Hindi e.g. Samaysar along with Pravachan Ratnakar, Niyamsar with
Pravachan Ratna Chintamani etc. They have given lectures on Samaysar, Pravachansar,
Niyamsar, Panchastikay,Yogsar, Ashtapahud, Parmatmaprakash, Kartikeyanupeksha, Mokshmarg
Prakashak, Panchadhyai, Tattvarthasutra, Atmasiddhi, Natak Samaysar, Dravyasangrah,
Anubhav Prakash, Ishtopadesh, Ratnakarand Shravakachar, Purusharth Siddhiupay, Gunasthan,
Chhahdhala, Jeevkand, Karmakand, Labdhisar, Bhavdipika, Anagar Dharmamrut, Sagar
Dharmamrut, Dhavala-16 books, Jaidhavala-16 books, Mahabandh-7 books and many more
subjects.
