In an age driven by material aspirations, Dr.Dhairya Vallabh Maharaj stands out as a beacon of compassion, service, and spiritual wisdom. A Jain monk who embraced renunciation at the tender age of 13, Maharaj has since devoted his life to upliftment, healing, and community empowerment. His journey is not just a tale of religious pursuit but an inspiring story of impactful social work, especially during some of the most trying times in recent history.
Embracing Monkhood Early
Born with a deeply spiritual inclination, Dr.Dhairya Vallabh Maharaj chose the path of Jain Sadhu at an age when most children are discovering the world around them. His renunciation at 13 marked the beginning of a life that would be defined by devotion, discipline, and a relentless pursuit of serving others—beyond barriers of caste, religion, or region.
Through years of meditation, study, and travel, Maharaj has built a holistic understanding of the world, which integrates spiritual insight with practical knowledge. His interests in Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Numerology, Pranic Healing, Face and Palm Reading, and Angel Therapy show his desire to explore all possible avenues of healing and well-being—both physical and spiritual.
Innovative Social Work During COVID-19
When the world was grappling with the devastating effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dr.Dhairya Vallabh Maharaj rose to the occasion with an initiative that blended ancient wisdom with modern needs. Drawing from Jain scriptures and Ayurvedic principles, he created a COVID immunity booster—an herbal preparation aimed at enhancing the body's natural defenses.
Over 3 lakh bottles of this immunity booster were distributed and sold, especially among those who couldn’t afford conventional medical support. His noble efforts caught the attention of Shri Vijay Rupani, the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, who felicitated him in 2021 for his outstanding contribution during the crisis.
Simultaneously, Maharaj played a critical role in grassroots relief work. He spearheaded food distribution campaigns that reached over 1000 people every day during lockdowns, ensuring that no one in the vicinity went to bed hungry.
Founder of Punay Pushrsti Parivar Group
With a vision to involve the youth in meaningful social initiatives, Maharaj founded the Punay Pushrsti Parivar Group (PPS)—a dynamic collective of over 2,000 young individuals across cities like Nagpur, Pune, Mumbai, Surat, and Ahmedabad. The group actively engages in humanitarian efforts including food and clothing drives for the homeless, animal rescue operations, and aid for critically ill children.
RJYJ has become a symbol of how spirituality, when blended with action, can bring about real change in society. Under Maharaj's guidance, these young changemakers are not only helping others but also evolving into conscious, compassionate citizens.
Spiritual Outreach and Mentorship
Beyond organized social work, Dhairya Vallabh Maharaj’s influence continues to grow across communities. With over 20,000 followers across India—including many from non-Jain backgrounds—he regularly conducts discourses, havans, and healing sessions on significant occasions.
His role as a mentor extends into deeply personal spheres of his followers’ lives. Whether it’s guidance on health, marriage, career, or business, his counsel is sought by people from diverse walks of life who find in him a blend of wisdom and approachability.
He also teaches ancient Brahmi script, keeping the roots of Indic knowledge alive among the younger generation. His digital presence on platforms like Instagram (@dvguruji) and YouTube has become a vital medium for spiritual education, especially among urban youth.
