DWC-E-007-THE FORTUNE RICH DHANNA

THE FORTUNE RICH DHANNA
The power of intelligence is the strongest of all powers. An intelligent person acquires fame, wealth and success everywhere with the help of hard work, effort and luck. It is strange that some people in this world have the power of intelligence; some have the power of hard work; whereas some have the power of luck. It is very rare to find all these powers in one person because they can be acquired only by those who did some very good deeds (Karmas) in the past. Dhanna was one such rare personality. He was very intelligent, very hard working and extremely lucky. His luck was so good that if he touched clay it turned into gold. Similarly, whatever problem he took into his hand, that problem itself would become the source of his success, fame and wealth. Dhanna had exemplary qualities like charity, brotherhood, serving the parents, forsaking and hard work. Dhanna lived in the sixth century B.C. During the times of Bhagwan Mahavir, Dhanna showed the power of his intelligence many times in the presence of King Shrenik and Abhaykumar and solved many problems troubling the rulers of Magadh and Ujjaini.
In Jain literature, many books on Dhanna like Dhanyakumar Charitra, Dhanna-Shalibhadra Ki Chopi etc. are available. Trishashtishalaka Purush Charitra by Acharya Shri Hemchandra Soori also has the description of Dhanna's character. Shramanasanghiya late Tapasviraj Munishri Labhchandraji M.S. used to narrate Dhanna's story in a very interesting style. Based on his speeches only, his disciple Sant Ratna Shri Arun Muniji has complied this book.
