Answer

When you meet Maharaj Saheb for the first time, you can respectfully say:

“Michhami Dukkadam, Maharaj Saheb.”

or

“Vandan Maharaj Saheb.”

Then you may bow respectfully and say:

“Aapna darshan no labh malyo.”

Meaning: “I feel blessed to have your darshan.”

What You Can Do

• Fold your hands respectfully.
• Bow down with humility.
• Say “Vandan Maharaj Saheb” or “Michhami Dukkadam.”
• Listen quietly and respectfully.
• If you want guidance, ask politely: “Mane dharm maarg ma margdarshan aapo.”

Important Etiquette

• Do not touch Maharaj Saheb unless it is allowed in that tradition.
• Speak softly and respectfully.
• Do not sit higher than Maharaj Saheb.
• Avoid unnecessary worldly talk.
• If offering anything, first ask what is appropriate according to Jain maryada.

Takeaway

The most important thing is vinay — humility and respect. Even a simple “Vandan Maharaj Saheb” said with devotion is enough.
