Shri Bhai Ji

Founder 1975 Spiritual Guide Social Reformer Author Philosopher

A beacon of spiritual wisdom who established the JISO Foundation in 1975 with a vision to propagate Jain values of Ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truth), Aparigraha (non-possessiveness), and Brahmacharya (chastity).

The Founder President of International Spirituality Olympiad Council (ISO Council), Shraddheya Sai Sharanagat popularly known as ‘Shri Bhai Ji’, has been a seeker, consistently seeking and exploring life. A grihasth sant (non-renunciate monk), spiritual preacher, motivational speaker and editor, Shri Bhai Ji is a dynamic visionary and proactive leader. Shri Bhai Ji, divinely envisioned the inception of the International Spirituality Olympiad (ISO) destined for all the school, college and university students to provide a platform for their spiritual awakening. The broader perspective of this mammoth movement is to make the life of future generations more blissful, meaningful and worthwhile.

Shri Bhai Ji is of the view that in this day and age when the forces of materialism have captivated the young gullible minds, we need to reach out to the common masses to redress the issue through a spiritual panacea. With this purpose and aspiration, he is tirelessly travelling to every nook and corner of the country for the expansion of the core message. He is engaged in dialogue with many spiritual luminaries, thinkers, commentators, preachers, authors, academicians, educationists, researchers, administrators, diplomats, social workers, politicians, entrepreneurs etc.
