SURAT: Eight younger ladies, all from affluent business families, will surrender worldly pleasures and transform Jain sadhvis at a different match to be organized within the town on February 14.
The ladies are aged between 14 and 27 and come with one each from Karnataka, Mumbai and Rajasthan too.
Organizers Kailashnagar Jain Sangh mentioned it is a uncommon match where a group of girls are taking diksha concurrently, the final such programme being held about 20 years in the past.
Acharya Rashmi Ratna Suriji, who has given dikshas to 414 other people till date, informed TOI, "It's a fact that this is for the first time in the past so many years that eight young women are taking diksha together." Around 18 years in the past, 28 other people, most commonly men, were given diksha by Acharya Gunratna Suriji, the trainer of Rashmi Ratna Surji. "Earlier, not more than two or three women took diksha together," he mentioned.
Pooja Chhajed, 22, daughter of an animal husbandry fodder trader in Rajasthan, is likely one of the eight. "I had a lot of interests in life. However, my parents always wished I must take diksha and become a sadhvi. My brother could not develop the feeling of giving up worldly pleasures, but my life changed two years ago when my grandfather died," she says.

My grandfathers passing away prompted me to visit a sadhvi and spend a few months together with her. I developed a robust internal feeling to surrender the world,” mentioned Pooja, who has studied till elegance XII.
“Once a person realizes that he or she can’t reside with out committing sins and hurting others, they adopt the trail of diksha,” mentioned Acharya Rashmi Ratna Surji.
Hiren Shah, whose 18-year-old niece Snehi Kothari from Palanpur could also be taking diksha, mentioned, “Snehi used to be strongly influenced by religion since her early life.
