As role models, they inspired each other to strengthen their connections with Jainism in order to encourage more people to comprehend the nuances of this beautiful religion in their daily life.

Continuing with their parents’ wishes, the children followed the gracious guidance of Gurudev Param Pujya Acharya Bhagwant Shrimad Vijay Ramchandra Suri Swarji Maharaj Saheb and Param Pujya Acharya Bhagwant Shrimad Vijay Mahoday Suri Swarji Maharaj Saheb and their entire Samuday.
