Answer

In general, Kanji Panth followers are usually respectful of Digambara monks, but they place more importance on inner realization than on outward monastic identity. Kanji Swami’s movement is described as a Digambara Jain lay movement rooted in Kundakunda’s spiritual tradition, and it is mainly lay in character rather than centered on a large monastic order.

Explanation

Their main teaching is that true renunciation is internal: the soul must realize its own pure nature. So, from their perspective, external vows, dress, and ritual alone do not make someone spiritually complete. That is why Kanji Panth is often described as emphasizing the primacy of self-realization over external observances, vows, and rituals, and as showing rejection of institutionalized monasticism in favor of individual spiritual effort.

Spiritual Understanding

So if you ask what they “say” about Digambara monks, the simplest answer is: they value the ideal of monkhood, but they do not treat outer monastic form as the highest thing. For them, the highest point is inner purity, आत्म-ज्ञान, and आत्म-अनुभव. ( encyclopedia.com)

Takeaway

Kanji Panth respects the Digambara path, but strongly teaches that real sainthood is inward, not merely external. ( encyclopedia.com)
