About
His Holiness Acharya Sushil Kumarji (Guruji) was the first Jain monk to travel outside India by mechanical means to bring the message of the Arihants to a wider world. This is cosidered one of the most significant events in modern Jainism.
Guruji founded Siddhachalam (reverentially, Shri Siddhachalam Jain Tirth) is a place of pilgrimage for Jains from all over the world. Siddhachalam is owned and managed by International Mahavira Jain Mission, a religious public charity in special consultative status with the United Nations.

Keshi said to Gautam: “Whom do you call foes?” Hearing these words of Keshi, Gautam replied: “O sage! The first foe is one’s unconquered soul. Add to this the four passions of anger, conceit, deceit and greed, and the five senses of touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. Vanquishing all these ten, I move about righteously.” Kumar-shraman Keshi said: “Gautam, you are endowed with excellent wisdom. You have removed my doubt…” Uttaradhyayana Sutra, 23:3- 39. The conversation between Sharman Keshi, follower of Bhagwaan Parsvanath, and Gautam Swami, the ganadhara of Bhagwaan Mahavira.
