Born on January 5, 1948, Jainacharya Ratnasundarasuri Maharaj has written at least 400 books on spirituality and religion. In January this year, Union Home Minister Amit Shah released Jainacharya’s 400th book and took blessings from the Jain monk.
In 2016, Prime Minister Modi released the 300th book of Jainacharya Ratnasundarsurishwarji, titled – ‘Maru Bharat, Saru Bharat’ which was written in Gujarati and Hindi.
In 2017, he was awarded the Padma Bhushan, India’s third-highest civilian honour, for his contributions to the field of spirituality.
The Prime Minister began his week-long election campaign in Maharashtra today and at his rally in Dhule, he hit out at the opposition alliance Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA).
Prime Minister Modi said that only the BJP-led Mahayuti alliance will ensure rapid development of Maharashtra, adding that whenever he has asked for something from the people of Maharashtra, they have blessed him wholeheartedly. “I assure you that the momentum Maharashtra’s development has achieved in the last two-and-a-half years will not be allowed to stop,” he said at the rally.
Elections in Maharashtra will be held in a single phase on November 20 and counting will take place three days later on November 23. The ruling Mahayuti alliance is up against the opposition MVA in the assembly elections.
