Jainism ke anusar, diksha (spiritual initiation) lene ka marg sabhi ke liye khula hai, chahe vyakti kisi bhi desh ya jati ka ho. Itihas mein bhi kai aise udaharan milte hain jahan videshi logon ne Jain dharm sweekar kiya ya diksha li hai.

Aaj ke samay mein bhi kuch aise log hain jo videsh se aakar ya videsh mein hi Jain muni, aryika, shravak-shravika ban gaye hain. Kuch prasiddh udaharan is prakar hain:

1. Shree Samanijis (Jain Vishva Bharati, Ladnun): Jain Vishva Bharati sansthan dvara banaye gaye samanijis mein kai aise hain jo videshi mulk se hain, jaise ki Italy, Russia, Germany, France adi se sambandhit hain. Inhone Jain dharm mein ruchi dikhakar samaniji diksha li hai.

1. Pujya Chitrabhanu ji: Chitrabhanu ji ne 20vi sadi mein America jaakar Jain dharm ka prachar kiya. Unke anuyayi kai videshi bhi hue.

1. Jain International Communities: America, UK, Canada, Kenya, Australia jaise deshon mein Jain sangh hai aur kai log wahan par Jain dharm ki diksha lete hain ya apnaate hain.

Samanya roop se, koi bhi vyakti jo Jain dharm ke mool siddhanton—ahimsa, satya, asteya, brahmacharya, aparigraha—ko apnana chahta hai, ve diksha le sakta hai, chahe uska janm kahin bhi hua ho. Jain muni, aryika ya shravak-shravika banne ke liye kuch anumati aur niyam hote hain, jo sangh dvara nirdharit kiye jaate hain.

Aap agar vistar se kisi vishesh vyakti ya udaharan ke baare mein jaanna chahte hain, toh kripya uska naam batayein.
