Jain Center of Southern California
"Sadhana Bhatti" Program
Jain Center of Southern California is pleased to announce a "Sadhana Bhatti" program over the Memorial Day weekend presented by Shrimad Rajchandra Mission, Dharampur, Los Angeles Center. The event will take place in the Aradhana Hall during Saturday, May 23rd to Monday, May 25th, from 7 am to 8 pm every day.
This is a powerful program which initiates a seeker into meditation. Just as fire purifies gold, seekers too are purified in the fire of meditation. The program includes morning and evening prayers, yoga, meditation, introspection, jaap and Pujya Rakeshbhai's discourse videos.
To get the most benefit, it is preferred to observe maun for 72 hours and attend the program for all three days. However, if that is not possible, you may choose to attend one or two days and must observe maun for a minimum of 12 hours during the program sessions.
All participants are requested to:
- Be on time.
- Attend all sessions during the day.
- Observe Maun for a minimum of 12 hours during the daily sessions.
- Wear white clothes.
- Bring your Samayik kit if you plan to do Samayik.
- Bring Meditation chair, if needed.
