Chinamay Sagar Maharaj, a 57-year-old-Jain Muni, is popularly known as “Jungle Wala Baba,” who resides deep inside forests, doing his meditation. The Muni is expected to arrive in Shravanabelagola on 28th January for the Mahamastakabhisheka (head anointing ceremony) of Bahubali statue.
The Muni stays at Chandragiri Hill and meditates at the spot where Chandragupta Maurya, the greatest of Mauryan emperors, accomplished penance several centuries ago. National secretary of the Chinmaya Sagar Charitable Trust, Abhishek Modi says Chinmay Sagar is the only saint in the world today to live in the forest and meditate for the betterment of mankind.
The munis have simple daily rituals to do, he eats once a day and after giving darshan to his disciples he returns to the woods by 4 pm. He gives a brief introduction to whoever meets him, which he was born on August 6, 1961, at Jugul village of Belagavi district and took Deeksha in 1988 on Mahaveer Jayanthi in Madhya Pradesh.
After taking Deeksha, the saint’s spiritual guru advise him to visit various places and hence he traveled barefoot in UP, Uttarakhand, Delhi, Rajasthan, and Karnataka, among others. Very different from all other religious heads, this Muni does not live in posh ashrams. He says “Forests are open spaces and all are welcome regardless of their religious leanings”.
His yeomen services have got him doctorates from the Universities of Sri Lanka, United Kingdom, and the US.
