Recently Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar had the honour of offering bhog to Shri Hansratna Surishwarji. He is a respected Jain Monk who concluded his 180-day fast at NSCI, Mumbai, on March 31st. For this heartwarming and touching moment, Akshay Kumar was dressed in a beige kurta. He graciously attended the grand ceremony held recently.

Shri Hansratna Surishwarji Concludes 7th 180-Day Fast, Akshay Kumar Attends Grand Ceremony in Mumbai:

Shri Hansratna Surishwarji is the only monk to complete this fast the seventh time, nurturing himself only on water. It was definitely one of the blessed moments for Akshay as he got this wonderful opportunity to offer Shri Hansratna Surishwarji his first meal after breaking his fast. As per Jain scriptures, Lord Mahavir fasted for 180 days twice to promote peace with non-violence and Hansratna Swami is one of 12 people in Jain history to have fasted for 180 days.

For Akshay Kumar, who is a strong believer of Hansratna Swamiji, this meaningful opportunity is a testament to his values of compassion and respect towards spiritual traditions, which have been seen many times before.
