कड़वे प्रवचनों के लिए विख्यात राष्ट्र संत तरुण सागर जी महाराज के देवलोक गमन से हम सब आहत हैं।
देश ने एक बहुत बड़ा संत खो दिया। मेरा सौभाग्य रहा कि जयपुर प्रवास के दौरान महाराज जी मेरे आवास पधारे, मुझे आशीर्वाद दिया।
मैं उन्हें नमोस्तु करते हुए हृदय से श्रद्धांजली अर्पित करती हूं। pic.twitter.com/xyZRSNdrAb— Vasundhara Raje (@VasundharaBJP) September 1, 2018
Tarun Sagar
Jain Muni Tarun Sagar died at the age of 51. He was born on June 26, 1967 in Madhya Pradesh’s Dahoh district. Born as Pawan Kumar Jain, Tarun Sagar left his home on March 8, 1981 to accept celibacy and lead a life of a Muni (monk). Jain saint had a massive following. He was suffering from jaundice and was admitted to hospital almost a month back. As his health failed to improve so he was brought back to temple. He had done ‘Santhara’ – the Jain ritual of fast unto death.
