Jain way of living|
|---|---|
||1. Our members and guests gathered for the holy event 8 Days of Paryushan in
August/Sept 23. ‘Paryushana’ is the most important annual holy event for Jains
and is usually celebrated in August or September. Jains increase their level of
spiritual intensity often by means of fasting and prayer/meditation. During this
period we arranged Lectures and prayers every day at Ekta Center and Navyug
Center. Popular singer and Vidhikar were invited from India for this purpose. We
had donations from members and the public in various fields for a good cause.
2. We did ‘Satsang’ on a monthly basis at Navyug Center. (Satsang is that a
favourable environment such as the presence of holy people, listening to holy
scripture or music, allows an individual to elevate his mind from one that is
worldly towards a higher level of thought).
3. We carried out various activities for children. In each activity we had between
40-70 participants. We tried to develop various qualities of children of all ages
through these activities.
4. We did Pat Darshan twice in a year. Pat is a portrait of Jain’s most holy place
named ‘Palitana’. We offer prayers and do a virtual Journey to the holy land in
this gathering.
5. We encouraged Children to Volunteer during events and during religious
period making it more inclusive for younger generation
6. We also participated in a programmes by other organisations and
government bodies.
7.We donated to UK based charity for the animal welfare|
