Disinterested in world tours, luxury cruises, Surat sisters renounce crores to take Diksha

Two daughters of an industrialist in Surat have decided to renounce their inheritence that runs into crores and taking diksha, Zee News reported.

The girls, Drishti, 17, and Pooja, 14,  have told their father that they will take Diksha on March 13, 2019.

Family members, however, have been reluctant that the girls take up Diksha, and have even taken them on a tour of nine countries, as well as a luxury cruise. However, the girls expressed disinterest, and said that they will continue with their plan.

In Jain faith, Diksha is a ritual of renunciation or initiation and Bhavya will take Diksha in the presence of around 400-450 Jain monks and around 7000 people.

Jain monks vow to give up not just material possessions but also all passions or emotions that cause karma.
