"Kadve Pravachan" translates to "Bitter Discourses." Muni Tarun Sagar Ji believed that truth is often bitter. He criticized social evils, corruption, and hypocrisy in a blunt, satirical, and direct manner to awaken society, which made his sermons "bitter" yet healing like medicine.

He famously addressed the Haryana State Assembly in 2016. He was also known for addressing the Indian Army and speaking from the Red Fort, though he did not address the national Parliament session, his influence on politicians was immense.

He was a Digambara Monk. Digambara monks renounce all clothes as a sign of complete detachment from worldly possessions (Aparigraha).
