Munis & Aryikas

Munis and Aryikas

A record of the Digambara munis and aryikas of our time and the recent past — where they were born, who gave them diksha, and the path they walked — so that future generations remember them.

Why this record

Every muni and aryika leaves home, family and name behind. Their dates of diksha, the places of their chaturmas and the day of their samadhi are often remembered only by those who were there. We are gathering these details carefully, from sanghs and families, so they are not lost.

Details are gathered from published biographies and sangh records. Dates sometimes differ between sources — if you can confirm or correct anything, please tell us.

Share the details of a Muni or Aryika

Families, sanghs and devotees can help complete this record. Send what you know — name before diksha, birthplace, parents, diksha dates and places, guru, chaturmas and samadhi. We check every entry before adding it.

Photographs can be sent by email or WhatsApp after you submit — please send only photos you have permission to share.
