Everyone can attain Infinite Happiness and Infinite Bliss by ending all kinds of sufferings. He laid down two sets of Paths - one for the Mendicant (Sadhu/Sadhvi) and the other for the Householder (Gruhastha). We as Householders who want to follow that Path should, first of all, have proper & correct knowledge of that Path. Therefore, not only should we find out what the Path is, but also understand how to follow that Path.That is the way to achieve TRUE HAPPINESS & BLISS in our daily life as well as attain the ultimate GOAL. We have arranged a 2 Day Shibir in August, 2015 (Sat/Sun-8/9) to explore, investigate, apply and ultimately imbibe in our day to day life those six essentials (Commands of Bhagwan Mahavir for us). Please join us for an experience of Enlightenment. You will not be disappointed!!!

In the just-right amount, that adrenaline rush can power you through a long day at work, boost your workouts and more. But while it feels good to conquer the day, in the end, it just simply feels better -- and is more beneficial to your health -- to relax. For more information and to participate in the challenge, click here. | | Enrichment and Empowerment (EE) Program - We Need Your Input | | We are excited to announce the launch of the Enrichment and Empowerment Program (EE) at the Jain Center for children and adults!
