Not every day when we come across people like Bhanwarlal Raghunath Doshi who choose to give up their entire wealth to become a preacher. Yes, the owner of D.R. International , an international trading house dealing in various kinds of plastic raw materials, has given up his Rs 600-crore line-up to embrace the monastic life.
He made the move this Sunday in Ahmedabad in a high-end ceremony where around five lakh people were present. Doshi became the 108th desciple and turned into a monk under the discipleship of Jain Acharya. Along with him over 101 people from the audiences also made commitments to join the spiritual group in another five years by taking Diksha.
Doshi is the 354th postulant to have become a monk under Surishwarji Maharaj’s discipleship. While not many know what prompted the ‘plastic king’ of Delhi to give up the worldly pleasures and lead an ascetic life, but it is being said that he was planning to take Jain Diksha since 1982.
Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani , who had once honored Bhanwarlal Doshi for his contribution in the field, also joined the event.
At the high-end ceremony, around 1,500 waiters served food at the event, over 500 hotel rooms were booked to accommodate the guests. Not just this, but theJain Institution received donations worth Rs25 crore. Apart from 1,000 sadhus and sadhvis, the event was joined by 1.5 lakh samayiks (spectators).
