Acharya Vidyasagar
Acharya Shri Vidyasagarji Maharaj (born 10 October 1946) is a Digambara Jain Acharya (Digambar Jain Monk). He is recognized both for his scholarship and tapasya (austerity). He is known for his long hours in meditation. While he was born in Karnataka and took diksha (undertook spiritual discipline) in Rajasthan, he generally spends much of his time in the Bundelkhand region where he is credited with having brought about a revival in educational and religious activities. He has written haiku poems and the epic Hindi poem "Mukamati".
