(From the Nemi Suri community; the revered leader)
Ten years ago, they embarked on a mission inspired by a noble vision: the establishment of Vihar Dham on the Bhavnagar route, a crucial endeavor. Within a 100 km radius, there was a lack of pure Jain houses, and the land's salinity rendered it unsuitable for agriculture. In the absence of Jain dwellings, Maharasaheb had to undertake the longer route (Ugravihar).
To fulfill this important mission, Chandubhai and Yogeshbhai diligently surveyed the route and secured rental houses in nine villages to lay the foundation of Vihar Dham. The scarcity of large trees along the way led them to begin the first Vihar Dham on a piece of land nestled between two wells in Bavaliya.
With the support of generous donors, they continued to expand their efforts and create new Vihar Dham one after another. In total, they have successfully established nine Vihar Dham, all made possible through the collective contributions of more and more patrons.
Their unwavering dedication and efforts have brought the vision of Vihar Dham on the Bhavnagar route to fruition, providing a sacred haven for the Jain community in the region.
Our Success Stories
Our triumphant journey
14 years ago, we embarked on this ambitious project, and through unwavering dedication, we established Vihar Dham, spreading its essence from village to village, starting at Vataman Chowkdi and extending to Nari and Ayodhyapura.
Within the serene embrace of Vihar, we find solace, transcendence, and a deep connection with the revered Guru Bhagwants. This spiritual haven has bestowed upon us immense blessings, fostering the well-being of all souls, making the last eight months an extraordinary odyssey. Numerous Guru Bhagwants have championed this path, showering us with their divine grace throughout.
The revered Guru Bhagwants, including Ashish Hemchandrasuri Yugbhushansuri, Somchandrasuri, Ashoksagar, Ajitsekharasuri, Chandraanansagar, Harshsagar, Daulatsagar, Suryodayasagar, Nardevsagar, Jinchandrasagar (Bandhu Beldi), Mahabalsuri, Punyapalsuri, Muktiprabhasuri, Yogatilaksuri, Jagchandrasagar, Prabodhchandrasuri, Yashovarmasuri, and Jaysundarsuri, have bestowed their blessings upon this project.
Currently, approximately 7000 sadhus and sadhvis are benefiting from this Vihar Dham. Apart from their spiritual devotion, they are also supported by compassionate helpers who selflessly serve using carts, palanquins, and wheelchairs. Over the last 14 years, Shri Chandubhai and Yogeshbhai have worked tirelessly to establish all these Vihar Dhams. Despite their business commitments, they dedicated time to visit these places two to three times a month, setting up these beautiful Vihar Dhams within a 100 km radius where finding suitable land or big trees was challenging. The administration of all these Vihar Dhams is registered under Trust No. 2587 (Mumbai). These magnificent Vihar Dhams became a reality due to the continuous efforts and unwavering devotion of their wives, Shri Ranjanaben and Shri Vishnapurna Shriji (Yogeshbhai's mother). Today, all these activities and knowledge are managed from their office. Joining them in this noble endeavor, four other trustees, Shri Yogeshbhai, Shri Harshadbhai (Jayakarbhai), Rameshbhai, and Jayubhai, have contributed significantly. Together, with their minds, bodies, and resources, they have reaped the remarkable benefits of these Vihar Dhams.
