Great biography for great sadhu Acharya Vidya Sagar Maharaj.

Vidyasagar was born on 10 October 1946 during the full moon festival (Sharad Purnima) in Sadalga, in the Belgaum district, of Karnataka in a Kannada speaking Jain family. The modest house where he was born, is now a temple and a museum.

His childhood name was Vidyadhar. He was the second of four sons, the eldest son being Mahavira Ashtage. As a child, he was fond of eating fresh butter which was used to make ghee (clarified butter). He was not a demanding child and accepted what was given to him.

Vidyadhar used to visit temples and teach his younger siblings the principles of religion. He called both younger sisters "Akka" (elder sister). He was attentive and was eager to undertake his studies. In his spare time he used to paint.
