The importance of Svadhyay (learning about the essence of Jain Dharma) cannot be exaggerated. When one understands the principles given to us by Prabhu , Gandhars, and various Acharyas, monks in the chain of Guru Shisya tradition, one comes to appreciate and sees Dharm in a completely new way.
We would like to take initiatives that can bring about such transformational change in perspective :
- Every year, we would like to host one lecture series (5+ sessions) in English that can simplify the core aspects of Dharm. Last year (2023), we conducted 13 sessions (over a 3 month period) on 12 Bhavnas
- We also facilitate Svadhyay sessions for adults every Saturday on a spiritual topic. This is conducted by Shree Girishbhai Shah from LA, CA. Currently, he is taking the 5th stavan of Pujya Devchandraji Ma Sa.
