Talk:Mahāprajña

copyedits...
I took the following out of the article. It needs to be copyedited...and maybe placed in different parts of this article:

Acharya Tulsi after consulting Mahapragya decided to start research, translation and annotation of the Jain Agamas. Mahapragya edited and critically annotated the agamas. With this colossal work, he has facilitated the permanent preservation of many thousand years old canonical scriptures and has embellished them with a scientific outlook acceptable to the people. This old literature is in Prakrit language and its commentaries are either available in Prakrit or Prakrit mixed with Sanskrit. Mahapragya first undertook their deep, sustained study and started editing them and provided their new meanings and interpretations. Through strenuous work day and night for many years continuously, the original text of the thirty-two Agam scriptures was determined and their Hindi translation also completed. Detailed commentaries thereon made them more interesting and comprehensible. This task carried out in accordance with the verbal renderings by Acharya Tulsi was guided by an entirely non-sectarian and open mind and is therefore viewed with respect by the heads of other sects as well as intellectual and oriental scholars of the East and the West. This difficult work was accomplished under the editorial direction of Mahapragya by the selfless and dedicated service of a team of talented male and female saints.

On 12th November 1978, in view of his hallowed vision, intellect and genius, Acharya Tulsi endowed Muni Nathmal with the qualitative epithet of ‘Mahapragya’ (highly knowledged). On 4th February 1979, his appellation ‘Mahapragya’ was converted into his new name by Acharya Tulsi and he was also made ‘Yuvacharya’, successor designate to the present Acharya, the second highest position after the Acharya himself. For this exceptional and sustained contribution to the cause of ‘Jain Yoga’ the epithet of ‘Jain Yoga Ke Punruddharak’ – Reviver or Resurrector of Jain Yoga – was also conferred to him by Achayra Tulsi.

In a mammoth public meeting on 18th February 1994, Acharya Tulsi declared that Mahapragya would now have the title of ‘Acharya’ also and that the former was renouncing this position forthwith. Subsequently, on 5th February 1995, Mahapragya was formally consecrated as the 10th Acharya – the supreme head – of Terapanth religious order in a big public meeting in Delhi. It is an unprecedented event in the history of Terapanth, where a renowned, talented and competent Acharya suo-moto abdicated his position in his own lifetime and entrusted it to his successor.

Acharya Mahapragya having taken over the reins of Terapanth, one of the most disciplined religious organisations, he is now endowed with many responsibilities. Further intensification of the movements of Anuvrat, Prekshadhyan and Jeevan Vigyan is his primary concern. A ‘Vikash Parishad’ – development council – has been constituted by Mahapragya to give further fillip to all these movements and underline their importance. The forum of Terapanth is now actively involved in propagating these movements.

Deletion of article on Acharya Tulsi:
I am surprised to note deletion of the article on Acharya Tulsi. He was one of the most prominent of the Jain acharyas of 20th century.
