Acharya Pravar Shri Vidyasagar Ji Mahamuniraj became Brahman on Magh Shukla Ashtami (17th February) on the day of Uttam Satya Dharma under Parvraj. His samadhi took place at 2:35 am on Saturday night. Acharyashree had adopted the proper writing method wisely. In a state of full awareness, he renounced the post of Acharya and fasted for 3 days and renounced diet and Sangha. At the same time, giving renunciation and atonement was stopped and maintained an unbroken silence.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed condolences on the demise of Acharya Shri 108 Vidhyasagar Ji Maharaj. “My thoughts and prayers are with the countless devotees of Acharya Shri 108 Vidhyasagar Ji Maharaj Ji. He will be remembered by the coming generations for his invaluable contributions to society, especially his efforts towards spiritual awakening among people, his work towards poverty alleviation, healthcare, education and more,” Modi wrote on X.

He considered the first sage worthy of the post of Acharya, disciple Niryapak Shraman Muni Shri Samaysagar Maharaj, and only then announced that he should be given the post of Acharya.
