ભગવાન મહાવીર દેવનો આચાર ધર્મ (ક્રિયા અને જ્ઞાનનું સમન્વય): July 23-24, 2016 | | Wellness Challenge - Eat Fiber Rich Foods(Whole Grain Meals Per Day) | | For the upcoming weekly challenge we are challenging the participants to "eat fiber rich foods (whole grain meal per day)” Public health guidelines from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advise Americans to eat between 20 and 30 grams of fiber a day, but most adults don't even eat half that much. This isn't surprising, since fiber refers to the indigestible portion of plant foods, and in the largely refined standard American diet, healthful fibers are often processed right out.

We think this topic will be of interest to your constituency. CLICK HERE for the pictures. b) In addition, we would like to inform you of an important lecture coming up: When: Sunday, July 10, 2:30 pm What: Worshiping the Dispassionate Lord: Rituals of Jain Piety A lecture by Dr. John E. Cort, Professor of Asian & Comparative Religions, Denison University The Jains are well known to scholars of Indian art for their thousands of elaborate temples which house three-dimensional stone and metal icons of the Jinas, enlightened and liberated teachers, and are among the masterpieces of Indian religious architecture. Cort explains the basic rituals of Jain piety, which are performed in large pilgrimage temples, in smaller neighborhood temples, and also at home shrines. His talk supplements and expands upon the many objects on display in the exhibition, and allows viewers to appreciate how these objects are simultaneously ritual implements and works of art.
