Inauguration, Documentory,Saint Varni

Sagar Watch/ Varni ji was rich in personality. He was such a great man who played an important role in the protection and promotion of Jainism at the national level. 

Opened many Sanskrit schools across the country, made countless journeys and created a lot of literature. The Syadvad Mahavidyalaya built in Banaras is the result of his own efforts. He was not only a saint but also a social reformer who struggled against the evils and disharmony of the time. 

MLA Jain was speaking as the chief guest at the inauguration ceremony of the documentary focusing on the life of Sant Ganesh Prasad Varni in the library auditorium of Dr Harisingh Gaur University.

Presiding over the Vice Chancellor Prof. Neelima Gupta said that today is the era of multimedia. There is a need to take the personality of this great leader of Bundelkhand to the national horizon. A message will go to the new generation if this documentary is aired on Doordarshan and national-level channels.

Research has to be done on such great men in the national education policy. Varni ji's work makes him a philanthropist saint. EMRC has captured all aspects of his life from this documentary and more work will be done on it.

Special guest Prof. Abhay Singhai said The centers of Jain studies from Sagar's Varni Bhavan to Banaras are his contribution. Varni ji's entire personality and struggle can be understood by reading his autobiography 'Meri Jeevangatha'.

This film is a small effort on Varni ji. Work remains on many chapters of his life. Varni ji Sagar is not only the heritage of the entire nation, said Dr Pankaj Tiwari, EMRC Director.

During this Prof. Subodh Jain, Dr Asha Jain, Br. Rakesh Jain, and Arvind Ravi, also kept their views on Varni ji. Operation Deputy Librarian Dr Sanjeev Saraf, Thanks Prof. Sanjay Jain agreed.
