The eight-day spiritual festival filled the entire campus with an atmosphere of devotion, reverence, and inner peace.
The Sacred Essence of the Shri Majjinendra Kalpdrum Mahamandal Vidhan
The Shri Majjinendra Kalpdrum Mahamandal Vidhan is a revered Jain religious ritual dedicated to the worship of Lord Majjinendra (Tirthankaras) with utmost faith and devotion. The term “Kalpadrum” symbolises the divine wish-fulfilling tree, representing virtue, compassion, and peace.
Alongside, the World Peace Yajna aimed to promote global harmony, goodwill, and collective well-being — spreading the timeless message of peace and spiritual unity.
The event was graced by the pious presence of Pujya Upadhyay Shri Pragyānand Ji Maharaj, who arrived from Ahikshetra (District Bareilly). His arrival filled the TMU campus with serenity and divine energy, elevating the spiritual ambience of the entire university.
This grand religious celebration was organised under the divine guidance and blessings of Chancellor Shri Suresh Jain, Group Vice Chairman Shri Manish Jain, Executive Director Shri Akshat Jain, and their family, who led the arrangements with deep devotion and dedication.
