Answer

In Jain Dharma, once a person becomes a Jain monk, their main identity is no longer based on caste or community such as Kojain or Khandelwal. Their identity becomes that of a sadhu/muni, dedicated to renunciation, discipline, and spiritual practice.

So, Shri Panyas Jai Vijay Ji Maharaj should respectfully be understood first as a Jain monk, not primarily as Kojain or Khandelwal.

Explanation

Before diksha, a person may belong to a family community, such as:

• Khandelwal Jain
• Oswal Jain
• Sthanakvasi background
• Other Jain social communities

But after taking diksha, the monk renounces:

• family identity
• caste/community identity
• personal possessions
• worldly status

The title “Panyas” is a respected monastic title, especially associated with learning, scriptural study, and teaching in Jain tradition.

Spiritual Understanding

From the Jain spiritual point of view, a sadhu’s greatness is not measured by birth-community, but by:

• vairagya — detachment
• charitra — conduct
• tapasya — austerity
• shrut-jnan — scriptural knowledge
• atma-sadhana — soul-focused practice

Takeaway

If you want to know his birth community specifically, that would require verified family or sangh records. But spiritually and respectfully, he is remembered above all as Panyas Shri Jai Vijay Ji Maharaj Saheb, a Jain monk.
