Listen to Acharya Shrimad Vijay Ratnasundarsuriji Maharaj Saheb explaining why we should do Vaiyavach Sewa. It is considered as a solemn duty of Shravaks in Jainism. Do not miss this opportunity.
To attain Moksha, it is essential to accept monkhood and if one is not able to renounce the material world, he/she must at least accept monkhood in his/her heart and develop the
highest regard for mendicants and be of service to Monks.
