Intro By Daaji

A Message of Inspiration and
Compassion for the Nation’s Youth

Droupadi Murmu
President of India
It gives me great pleasure to know that Daaji’s book, Holy Tirthankars is being published, with an aim to promote and spread the timeless wisdom of Jain Tirthankars.
The book’s emphasis on environmental stewardship, interfaith harmony and leadership development aligns with India’s civilisational values. The focus of this book is on inner discipline, compassion, truthfulness, non-violence, self-restraint, and service to the neighbourhood and nation. I am confident that this book will inspire readers, especially the youth, to lead lives rooted in service and respect for all beings. I extend my warm greetings and felicitations to Daaji and all those associated with this book and send my best wishes for the success of the publication.

Narendra Modi
Prime Minister of India
At a time when the world is grappling with issues such as environmental degradation and climate change, the lives of the Holy Tirthankars and their teachings remain extremely relevant. They remind us that the spirit of ahimsa should not only extend to other human beings, but also be our attitude towards our environment and our planet.
Be it the Holy Tirthankars, or Lord Buddha and many other enlightened souls, specific trees are associated with them and their spiritual journey. This intimate relationship between trees and these spiritual giants is not a mere coincidence. It is a reminder of an ancient truth that inner purification and outer conservation are linked to one another. I am sure that this book will inspire readers, especially the youth, to connect deeply with themselves, with others and with nature, as well as get associated with movements like 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam'

Shri Ram Nath Kovind
Lawyer & former President of India
Holy Tirthankars by Daaji shows how core Jain ethics and contemplative practice support success in both spiritual and worldly life. The twenty-four Tirthankars, like pole stars, continue to guide seekers, offering clear insights and practical steps for personal transformation and civilisational renewal.
Jainism, the world’s oldest faith-based spiritual tradition, shares kinship with Sanatana Dharma. What impresses most is the book’s practicality — it speaks to today’s seeker, offering guidance in ethical conduct, meditation, compassion, service, and reverence for nature, including the sacred trees linked to the Tirthankars. Today’s youth are fortunate to receive this path, presented with clarity and simplicity. May every sincere reader be inspired to excel in life and serve a greater renewal.

‘Daaji’s Holy Tirthankars: In the Light of Heartfulness is a heartfelt celebration of our shared spiritual heritage. This book is more than the stories of the twenty-four Tirthankars or the Jain tradition. It is a bridge that connects our ancient wisdom to the practical, experiential power of Heartfulness meditation. This book stands out to me because it is a call to action, to reconnect with nature and live our birth purpose. It’s not just a book to be read but a work to be lived’
That is the message and inspiration that Tirthankars bring to our lives'
H.H. Acharya Dr Lokesh Muniji

‘Meditation is an art that requires practice. The more we practise it, the more we can master it. A conducive environment helps us achieve focus in meditation. That’s why natural surroundings are the most helpful in experiencing your own true nature. There is a reason and science why Tirthankars choose to meditate under trees. Trees are a powerhouse of oxygen. The deeper we breathe, the calmer our mind becomes. The most beautiful aspect of meditation is that this is the only sadhana in which we don’t seek any divine being outside. Rather, we search for the God within! Human life is the only opportunity where you can meet yourself. Don’t forget to open your inner eye before you close your outer eyes forever! That is the message and inspiration that Tirthankars bring to our lives’
