Sweety, the mother, adopted the name Bhavshudhi Rekha Shri Ji, while her son became known as Hitashay Ratanavijay Ji. According to a family relative, Viveka, Sweety’s decision to become a monk was made during her pregnancy, and she had always intended for her son to follow in her footsteps. Hridhan, despite his young age, was aware of his expected monastic future.
In January 2024, the mother-son duo participated in the Diksha ceremony in Surat, Gujarat. They now reside in Surat, pursuing their spiritual journey. While Sweety’s husband, Manish, and other family members supported her decision, some netizens have expressed concern over the choice made for Hridhan. Some question the validity of a child’s decision at such a young age, while others criticize the mother’s decision to prioritize her religious beliefs over her son’s personal choice.
Despite the mixed reactions, Sweety and Hridhan’s journey as Jain monks serves as a reminder of the diverse spiritual paths individuals may choose in their pursuit of enlightenment and inner peace.
