  Kanji Swami
Gurudev Kanji Swami was born in Umrala, Gujarat in V.S. Kanji Swami was instrumental in starting a new revolution in the percept and practice of Jainism, thereby putting thousands of souls on the true path of salvation.
Gurudev's main obligation to us- and for which we shall remain ever grateful to him, was his self-experienced knowledge of the soul, being absolutely distinct from worldly affairs and his direction, through his preachings to see the great path of souls' upliftment.
Gurudev by his preachings and sermons and with view to determine the soul with pure knowledge, always propagated the realisation of helpful elements such as the independent 'sat' effect of dravyas.

 Gurudev Sivananda
Gurudev’s life is but a song of love, a love that knew no limitations, a love that had no thought for self, but constantly (and in practice) wished the welfare of everyone.
Gurudev identifies himself with the soul of the evil-doer, and insists that that man, too, must be enabled to evolve, and he appreciates that even his evil-doing was part of that process.
Gurudev’s renunciation of the world was not an accident, or an impulsive act, but the inevitable culmination of intense and irresistible surge of Divine Compassion in the saintly doctor’s heart from which all limitations and individuality had been banished.
