Spiritual yogi, dhyan sadhak pujya Gurudev Shri Hasmukh Muni experienced samadhi, a state of deep meditation, at Ankai around 1978. Since his youthful days, he was inspired by Saurashtra Gaj Kesari Pranlalji Maharaj of Gondal Sampradaya of Saurashtra Sthanakwasi Jain Sangh. This culminated in his taking diksha at the age of 21 from Tapasviji Shri Ratilalji Maharaj.
