Welcome Function For Samanijis in Kolkata
On 29th April 2008 Samani Sheel Pragyaji arrived at Kolkata with her group of 4 Samanijis from Cuttack, Orissa. A welcome function was held in presence of Sadhvishree Nirvanshree at south Kolkata Sabha Bhavan where Samanijis Sangh Pragyaji and Malli Pragyaji also were present with their groups.
Shri Chainrup Nahata from Kolkata is doing Santhara. His family had requested H.H. Acharya Mahaprajna to depute one group of Samanijis to give Mr. Chainrup Nahata a maximum of Samadhi during his Sadhana of Santhara. Samani Sheel Pragyaji and her group therefore came to Kolkata, Samanijis Sangh Pragya and Malli Pragya regularly are giving classes in Kolkata for BA & MA students of distant education department at JVBU Ladnun.
Sadhvishree Dr. Yogkshem Prabhaji expressed her feelings of happiness to receive Samani Sheel Pragyaji with whom she had lived together long years back at Parmarthik Shikshan Sanstha. She said, “We are lucky that first we welcomed Samani Sangh Pragyaji at south Howrah, where we 2008 are going to spend Chaturmas. We then welcomed Samani Malli Pragyaji at Maha Sabha Bhavan where we 2006 spent our first Chaturmas in Kolkata. Today we are welcoming Samani Sheel Pragya at south Kolkata where we in 2007 had spent Chaturmas.
Mr. Nahata who is doing Santhara is 10 km away from this place. Two nuns walked to his place to give Samadhi to him. Samanijis Malli and Sangh Pragya are here for teaching since quite some time, and whenever they got time they also visited Mr. Nahata's house. Samani Sheel Pragya now has arrived for this purpose.”
Samani Malli Pragyaji then welcomed Samani Sheel Pragya on behalf of all Samanijis already staying in Kolkata since some days. She said that Samani Sheel Pragya is very cool minded which makes it very easy for her to stay with any group. Samani Sheel Pragya is doing alternative fast - one day eating, one day fasting - during the last 7 years.
Samani Sheel Pragya expressed her happiness of being in presence of Sadhvishree Nirvanshree and her hope of being able to learn many things from her.
Sadhvishree Nirvanshree in her response said how happy she always feels when Samanijis arrive, as they are always bringing news and messages from H.H. Acharya Mahaprajna, Yuvacharyashree Mahashraman, and Sadhvi Pramukhashree Kanak Prabha. This gives not only energy to Sadhvishrees, it also provides internal news to them which can only be heard from Samanijis. Sadhvishree Nirvanshree expressed her hope that Samani Sheel Pragya in the next future will attend Akshay Tritiya function.
Shri Vinod Baid welcomed Samanijis on behalf of all laypersons and hoped that besides Mr. Nahata all people in Kolkata will enjoy the benefits of Samanijis’ stay in Kolkata. Shri Bhanwarlal Singhi compered the function.
