On the occasion of Raksha Bandhan festival, the revolutionary jain saint Munishree Tarun Sagar Maharaj dedicated the day to girl child, naming it Kanya Gaurav Diwas (Pride Girl Child Day).

Thousands of devotees left enthralled by the motivating speech of Munishree, precisely on present social status of a woman, in a packed auditorium of M.B.College.

Besides the eminent spiritual sermons of Munishree Tarun Sagar Maharaj, there was one more centre of attraction in the event.

The world smallest girl Jyoti Amge who is merely 58 cm tall and weight around 5.2 kg, Jyoti’s aberrant restricted growth has gave her immense popularity all over the world.

Jyoti came to Udaipur a day before raksha bandhan to participate in the Kanya Gaurav Diwas with other renowned women including Krishna Tanwar – skating champion, Kratika for her bravery, Shrishti Goswami – Indian Idol top 20 contestant were also honored by volunteers of Tarun kranti Yuva Manch- the organizing body of the event.

Power of Women

Muni Shree has expressed his absolute remonstration on killing of female fetus. He said, “The ratio of girls is going down rapidly, if this continues then there will be more problems, women will be tortured more, rape cases will increase and such conditions are not a good sign. If killing of female fetus continues like this then soon we have to think about celebrating Raksha Bandhan.

He continued saying, The one who comes into existence in mother’s womb is a special guest for those parents, and guests are heartily welcomed, not get killed.

A woman in India is always termed as goddess of power. Like, for wealth we pray to goddess Laxmi and for wisdom we pray to goddess Saraswati.

While stating the value of a girl child Mushree said – It is not necessary that every son will become great one day, but we cannot even avoid the possibility of his future dreadful characteristics.

Ravana had thousand sons but none was reliable, but look at Sita, her distinctive eminence has kept her alive till today.

If every woman of the world raises her hands then even saints have to starve. Certainly, woman is always stronger than man.

While explaining the law of God, Munishree said – River can be zigzag but its flowing water cannot be, same way this world can be a zigzag too but not the creator. If killing someone is a sin then killing female fetus is the most horrible offense.

Conveying a message to women devotees present in the grand function, Munishree said – If you are a daughter or daughter in law of your house then be like a needle instead of a scissor, because needle is always used for uniting while scissor cuts everything.
