Acharya Tulsi
Acharya Tulsi was a great connoisseur of the gems of the human beings. He was a skilful sculptor. He was an artist of high caliber. He transformed many an unchiselled stones in form of human beings into excellent statues as nuns and monks. Acharya Tulsi remained in the office of Terapantha religious order for 60 years. His tenure as the Acharya was a golden period in the history of this religious order. He had the wonderful gift of adjusting himself with the changing stream of time. Acharya Tulsi, with his indomitable will power and firm determination realized every dream that he visualized. He had to face great hurdles, obstacles and strong opposition, but with his firm resolution, he overcame them all. He possessed a multidimensional personality. For the welfare of humanity, he introduced perceptional meditation, Anuvrata, science of living and training in non-violence. Acharya Mahapragya, Yuvacharya Mahashraman and Kanakprabhaji, the head of nuns, are his unique creations.
Dr. Rajendra Prasad, the First President of India said
“In the present age when man is dazzled by material prosperity and is neglecting the moral and spiritual values of life, balance can be maintained only by such movements. In that event only man can expect to escape from the destructive consequences of materialism. Acharya Tulsi gave priority to spiritualism over his poetic faculty.”
According to Kanupriya, the famous literary figure
“Acharya Tulsi is not only a personality to reckon with, but also a gigantic cultural institution. Gurudev Tulsi was a Brahmarisi in the true sense of the word as he made new experiments in the field of spiritual practices. He was a Devarisi as he gave the light of knowledge to all. He was a Rajarisi as he was the disciplinarian of a vast religious order. And he was a Maharisi as he was constantly in search of what is great and true in life. Acharya Tulsi had a unique and super worldly personality”
Dr. Nijamuddin said
“His hair was grey and his complexion was very fair. His big eyes shone with the light of truth and tejus. His broad forehead and agile body inspired both respect and admiration. He had close affinity for each and every body and he was a devotee of equanimity. He was simplicity personified. He was the watchman of national consciousness and the founder of Anuvrata Movement; He was extremely soft-spoken. He was a man deeply absorbed in discipline. His entire personality gave out the light of spirituality. This is the impression that he created on first sight”
Shiv Raj Patil, the ex-speaker of Lok-Sabha said
“Whatever is there with the entirety (totality) of the world, Gurudev Tulsi is one of those selected few persons, it is my belief. Acharya Shri Tulsi was a top figure in the field of spirituality”
Dr. Nemichand Jain, the editor of the magazine 'Tirthankara'
“Acharya Tulsi performed the great task of asking people to open the doors, windows and ventilators of religion and to let light and freshness come in. He did not confine religion to a limited field but gave it every opportunity to fly and to expand like a free bird”
Dr. Khoobchand Baghel, M.L.A. Madhya Pradesh said
“I had seen great men like Mahatma Gandhi, Arvind Ghosh and Maharish Raman and now I very much yearned to see some-one having reached the same heights of spirituality. I thought there was no one left who could stand at par with them. But after seeing Gurudev Shri Tulsi, I feel every moment that he should be regarded among the best of the spiritual leaders of India”
Maharshi Vinod describes the greatness of Acharya Tulsi in these words
“I have felt that Acharya Tulsi is a godly person. He has come into this world to spread the message of God and to complete his work. He lived neither in past nor in future. He always lives in present”
Dr. Nagendra
“Expressing oneself with full entirety, be it through deeds or through speech or through any other medium, is one’s greatest achievement”
Senior Journalist Jainendra
“There seems to me very little disintegration in the personality of Acharya Tulsi. There is great unison in his conduct, speech and thinking. That is why his personality is so dynamic”
Greatness on his Book “'Agni Pariksha”
Taking back his book ‘Agni Pariksha, an excellent poetic work in spite of its being proved blameless by the court, amply proves this fact. Reacting on his taking back the book, some authors and saints said to Acharya Tulsi, “Your book is genuine; it is an excellent literary work. Why did you take it back? You have insulted the whole literary world by doing so.” Pacifying them, Acharya Tulsi said, “I am first a saint, a spiritual devotee and then an author or a poet. I considered this issue, first from the point of view of a spiritual devotee and then from the point of view of a poet. I have taken the decision of taking this book back to save the value and dignity of non-violence. I do not think I have made a mistake.”
Belief of Acharya Tulsi
“The great secret of success in life lies in concentration. Concentration is necessary not only in the field of spiritual practice but in all walks of life—education, art, commerce and science etc. The force that lies in concentration can never be there when it is divided. Einstein, When in his laboratory, got so absorbed in his work that he forgot even hunger and thirst. Mind gets strengthened only when it is undivided and entire. The faculties of a broken mind are scattered and then life becomes a burden and gets idle. Great scholar Swet Morden says that there are two reasons of man’s failure and sorrow—lack of firm determination to execute one’s plans and to waver and to be fickle.
