Shri Jambu Vijay Ji Maharaj was Guru of numerous scholars

Ahmedabad, DeshGujarat, 12 November, 2009
87-year old Shree Jambu Vijay Ji Maharaj Saheb who died in a road accident today was not only a Jain Monk but was Guru of numerous scholars from various universities across the world.
Shri Jambu Vijay Ji dedicated his life for preservation of manuscripts, reproduction and protection of ancient treasure of knowledge. He could read 18 languages. Thanks to his efforts, Jain manuscripts in Patan(Gujarat) Gyan Bhandar are very well protected and scanned for further circulation.
Whether a Japanese girl from Hiroshima University or an Italian lady from German University, or an author of a book on Jainism from U.S, they all had to come to Shri Jambu Vijay Ji Maharaj Saheb to get the authentic knowledge of Jainism and Buddhism.
In 2007, Italian scholar Michel stayed 2 months in a small village near Rann of Kutch to get authentic guidance for her study on Jainism from Shri Jambu Vijay Ji Maharaj who was staying there for Chaturmas. Michel became permanently vegetarian and started chanting Jain Navkar Mantra every day during her stay. Today Michell is in Italy, but she orders Gujarati Khakhara from Ahmedabad to continue her pledge of being vegetarian as there are few choices for vegetarians in Italy.
Shri Jambu Vijay Ji had visited northern India’s Badrinath teerth after 3,000 km walk.
Shree Jambu Vijay Ji Maharaj, disciple of Shri Bhuvan Bhanu Ji Maharaj worked almost all their life in the compilation and publication of our ancient Jain Ägam literature. Many learned scholars worked under the leadership of Shri Jambu Vijay Ji Maharaj in the compilation and publication of Jainism’s most authentic literary treasure. The partial list of such scholars are; Muni Shri Dharmachandvijay, Late Pundit Shri Bechardas Doshi, Late Pundit Shri Amrutlal Bhojak, Late Pundit Shri Dalsukh Malvania, Dr. Sagarmal Jain, Dr. Nagin Shah, Late Dr. Harivallabh Bhayani, Pundit Rupendra Pagariya, Pundit Suresh Sisodiya, Dr. V M Kulkarni, and Dr. Vasudevsharan Agrawal.
Scholars not only from Jain community but other communities as well are deeply shocked by sudden demise of such a towering personality.

Pujya Shri Jambu Vijay ji Maharaj Saheb was a leading Jain ascetic of our times. The Institute of Jainology was quite close to Maharaj Saheb and he was always ready to help us in all matters related to Jain dharma.
When we published the Catalogue of Jain Manuscripts of the British Library, he willingly contributed his views for publication in this first ever catalogue of Jain manuscripts of its kind.
We shall all miss his august presence in the Jain community world-wide.
One of the greatest Jainism Scholar we lost. At this age also he was in hurry to finish digitizing many olden heritage scripts. The loss indeed is irreparable.
I met Pujya Shri Jambu Vijay ji Maharaj in Ahmedabad Gujarat with my son Amol Jain about 13 years ago.We were taken there by a friend for his darshan. It was a very hot day in july, he was sitting on the floor in the middle of no where outside a room talking to a lady from Japan and a professor from UK listening to them.What impressed us both was his simplicity and down to earth nature,his knowledge about Jainism and i6 languages inclding foreign languages. At later stage I realised how lucky we were to have met him as he was such a great sadhu and a scholar. It will be agreat loss to us all.I am angry with the fact that such accidents keep on happening.

Dear all,
I have never felt so helpless, completely ashamed of my inability to protest, stop, retaliate at this merciless act of the most henious nature, which has to be condemned at all levels. I pray to who ever this message reaches, if it is within his reach , then please stand up and protest.
The activities of ANOOP MANDAL , the organisation behind these hit and run accidents should be stopped. The organisation should be banned and termed as a terrorist outfit. It has been involved in innumerable incidents of damage to jain temples and idols and monks.
2 days before this incident 4 more sadhviji’s were similarly slaughtered to death by a truck. On July 26, 2007, two sadhviji’s P.P.Hem prabha sriji and P.P Guruvarya sri Vinith Pragya shri ji met with the same fate, and this also happened in PALI, near Balotra.
Stop this carnage. Please. We follow ahimsa , that’s our strength, but do not take advantage of our goodness.
Now is the time to unite, to stand as one and be counted. What is the Rajasthan Government doing, just for a few votes is it ready to sacrifice the lives of such Great messengers of peace who would not even harm even an insect, not even in their thoughts. Come on, show some spine, take the guilty to task. Show us that there is still humanity left. For our children have to live in this world tomorrow, and that world is what we create and leave behind for them. Would we want our children to live in a world of fear , hatred, crime, we have to decide. May GOD give you the strength , and clarity of thought to stand by truth and righteousness. Om Shanthi.
