He got Vairagya on 4 March 1984 and was initiated as a Digambara monk by Acharya Vidyasagar on 31 March 1988 in Sonagiri. On the issue of Sallekhana controversy, he said

Santhara is not a suicide. Jainism considers suicide a sin. Followers of every religion do penance through different means and Jainism also does so for self-purification.
