A Real Life SHRAVIKA at tender age :)

I have all while grown hearing great stories of Shravika's in Jainism but always regretted that I never got a chance to personally know anyone of such. but really today I am very much happy to know a real life "Shravika" in all means :) So just thought to share this real life incident. I AM NOT NAMING HER AS I KNOW SHE WONT LIKE GETTING NAMED.

It happened in 2010 July with her when some Maharajsaheb's had started going towards Surat from Vadodara just a month before Chaturmas. About 15Km's from Vadodara, Suddenly 1 truck came from behind & injured 2 of Maharajsaheb's & fled off. Both Maharajsaheb's were severely injured. Some passing car's stopped & called ambulance & Maharajsaheb were immediately rushed to Global Multispeciality Hospital. All maharajsaheb came back again at Vadodara. Upashray was 3Km's far from that place & as per hospital rules only 2 ms were allowed to stay. One of the maharajsaheb who got injured got 249stitches & got in senses after 7 days.

Maharajsaheb's managed for 2/3 days by travelling 2-3 Km's daily & decided to find out a space near to hospital so that they can look after daily. They reached a home nearby which they felt must be a home of Jain Shravak & here the incidents begin:

A girl was only there in that house as her parents had gone to someone's funeral. Maharajsaheb told her entire events & asked her that if any space is available nearby or in colony where they can stay. The girl just a TEEN immediately asked maharajsaheb's to stay at her place only. Maharaj told her that they were 11 so how would they mange & its not yet sure how many days they would have to stay cause of hospitalization. Further they cant even accede to a girl's request.

But that girl called up her parents & got permission from her dad immediately who also agreed immediately without even giving it another thought. The entire family cleared room for them & they all came in 1 room itself. All 11 maharajsaheb stayed there for 17days. Entire family looked after them greatly in addition to doing great care of injured sadhu bhagvant's. Undoubtedly neighbors too came forward in this great cause & getting moments to serve sadhu sadhvi bhagvant's. Maharajsaheb's too took great care while at their place not to put anyone into any harassment & 8 of them used to keep ayambil's & used to travel 4Km's daily to get Nirdosh Gochari.

Many well wishers & sansarik family members used to come in daily to know about health of maharajsaheb. All those great soul's took proper care of them too doing a great SADHARMIK BHAKTI. The girl was having her MBA Entrance exam in next week but she had kept her books aside & was completely devoted in looking after all maharajsaheb in addition to all others in her family.

17 days all Maharajsaheb stayed there & girl too scored well in her exams. Everyone in family were in tears when they left.

-What a great girl who immediately took that decision inspite of her exams
-What a family who readily accepted small girl's decision, surely they would be really very proud of their daughter.
-& surely great neighbors who too came forward

-& sadhu bhagvant's undoubtedly most great who looked after that no harassment/load etc is caused to the family.

In one ages a kid without even a thought gave away all his kheer to muni bhagvant & becomes the GREAT SHALIBHADRA & here a girl in her early twenties without a thought does a great vaiyavach of all saints while not giving a thought to any inconvenience which she may face at home or her exams or her schedules etc & really great parents who all way supported her. I know surely she is a great soul & gonna be greater in her upcoming life.

NEEDLESS hats off to that Girl & her family. Very less teens get such beautiful & great thoughts like you. :) Whatever anumodna I do shall be less, KOTI KOTI ANUMODNA..

At time the youth is deviating away from spiritual aspects & humanity, you really are a great flame of inspiration for all of us.
