A Gujarati businessman pays Rs. 200 crore to support the monk’s ongoing care
A prosperous Gujarati businessman and his spouse stunned their society when they declared their intention to accept sanyas and become monks. The company recognized Bhavesh Bhandari and his spouse, who gave property valued at Rs. 200 crores, as motivated by their newly sannyasic children.
Less than two years ago, their two children took sannyasya and have since made the decision to live a life of renunciation and simplicity. The couple has made the decision to give up all worldly belongings and live a life committed to spirituality, following in the footsteps of their children.
On the 22nd of this month, the family—who are well-known for their economic savvy and generosity—will depart for the nation to start their new life as monks. In their society, their choice to give up their opulent lifestyle in favor of a life of simplicity and service has elicited both respect and incredulity.
