DIKSHA CEREMONY
1. Ruby Bansal, re-christened by Acharya, Dr. Shiv Muni, as Shashank Muni has joined the saintly order in Jan Shwetambar Sthanakwasi sect after his Diksha at Ropar on the 28th May, 2004. Ruby has been already leading a life, devoted to the cause of vegetarianism, ahimsa and compassion and has earned a name for his virtuosity and ethics. He has been initiated as Jain Muni by Acharya Shiv Muni, having been inspired by his discourses and programmes on self-introspection, self-restraint and self-purification. After coming in contact with the Acharya, he developed a strong sense of detachment, austerity and righteousness which led him to leave the family and worldly chores and move on the path of spiritual contemplation, abstinence and renouncement. Thousands od devotees joined the celebrations held in Roper town to mark the holy occasion. Several saints and sadhwis were present at the time of diksha to bless the newly-initiated saint.
