Samkit Shibir By Shri Champaklal Mehta - (July 10 - 12, 2015)

We are happy to announce that registration is now open for Samkit Shibir by Shri Champaklal Mehta. It will be held on the revised dates of July 10-12, 2015 (Friday -Sunday) at Jain Center.

This "Samkit" explanation is based on 67 Bol Sajjay from Pujya Mahopadhyay Shri Yashovijayji Maharaj. "Samkit" is also called "Atma Gyan" or "Samyag Darshan", which is a goal for any Sadhak who wants to attain complete happiness or Moksh. Samkit opens the door for Moksh and it guarantees it typically in 3, 5 or 15 life spans. We will provide everyone with a paper copy of 67 Bol Sajjay from Pujya Mahopadhyay Shri Yashovijayji Maharaj (in Gujarati) during the Shibir.

Please click on the link below to register. There is no cost to register or for lunch. If you previously registered for this Shibir, you do not need to register again.
