Guruji

Acharya Sushil Kumarji Maharaj ("Guruji" -- June 15, 1926 - April 22, 1994) was a Jainist Acharya. Kumarji was the honorary president of the World Conference of Religions for Peace, founder of the World Fellowship of Religions (1950), and a founding member of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (1964). Kumarji's primary ashram is Siddhachalam, located in Blairstown, New Jersey -- established in 1983.

He was born in Sikhopur, India and, at the age of seven, went to live with Shri Chotelalji Maharaj (who became his guru). Kumarji claimed that the spirit of Shri Roop Chandji Maharaj had inspired him to become a monk -- he became a monk at the age of 15.
