Muni Shri 108 Gunoday Sagarji Maharaj-1948

Muni Shri 108 Gunoday Sagarji Maharaj

Muni Shri 108 Gunoday Sagarji Maharaj was formerly known as Shri Munnalal Taksal Jain. He was born on 21 January 1948 in Jaipur, Rajasthan. His mother’s name was Shrimati Sajjan Devi and his father’s name was Shri Devi Narayan. He completed his education up to the 10th class. He was married to Shrimati Sulochana Ji and was blessed with two sons and two daughters—son Shri Sanjay (Shrimati Anju), son Shri Anoop (Shrimati Seema), daughter Shrimati Pinky (Shri Pawan), and daughter Shrimati Reena (Shri Kailashchand). He belongs to a family of three brothers and five sisters—Shri Omprakash, himself Shri Munnalal, Shri Kunj Bihari, Shrimati Lalli (Shri Sumerchand), Shrimati Padma (Shri Vimalji), Shrimati Savita (Shri Shankarji), Shrimati Beena (Shri Omprakash), and Shrimati Rekha (Shri Surendraji).
Over time, he undertook the vows of two, three, and five Pratimas. In his childhood, he had the blessed opportunity to have darshan of First Acharya Shri 108 Shantisagarji Maharaj and remained associated with the Sangh since the time of Acharya Shri 108 Dharmasagarji Maharaj. As there had been a Chaityalaya at his residence since the time of his ancestors, his religious values continued to grow.
Inspired by deep detachment, on 22 February 2026 (Phalgun Shukla Panchami, 2026), at Atishay Kshetra Padampura, Jaipur (Rajasthan), he received Muni Diksha from Pancham Pattadhish Vatsalya Varidhi 108 Acharya Shri Vardhman Sagarji Maharaj. After initiation, he was given the name Muni Shri 108 Gunoday Sagarji Maharaj.
