New Year Blessings From Acharya Shri Chandanaji Maharaj
‘We welcome the New Year as we respectfully bid farewell to 2017. With new awareness, new energy, new enthusiasm and new ambitions we aspire to make a fresh beginning! Wherever new life emerges, takes birth or blossoms there is tenderness and vibrancy. Likewise for us the New Year brings vitality. May you be free from the strain of past burdens, useless worries, anxieties, and sorrows that may exist in your life; I shower upon you an abundance of blessings. May you be able to show your appreciation to God and live a life replete with bliss and happiness!’

Shri Chandana Vidyapeeth Jain School Message from Sadhvi Shri Shilapiji:
Sociologists say that today’s generation is the most capable, vibrant and fortunate ever known in the history of mankind. Therefore it is important that with the tremendous opportunities for external development, young people should get enough exposure for internal growth as well. It is with this objective that Shri Chandana Vidyapeeth (SCVP) was started in both the UK and in Kenya. Additionally young people are the successors of Tirthankar Mahavir’s teachings of Ahimsa, Anekant and Aparigraha. Hence it is our responsibility to apprise the young people with this extraordinary treasure trove of our prophet’s thinking.
It is now twenty one years …. I am overwhelmed to see the tremendous commitment of all the teachers, SCVP committees, Young Jains Nairobi and Veerayatan UK trustees. Since its inception, SCVP has only seen tremendous passion, growth and innovation. In the last twenty one years, everybody has worked very hard to ensure the continuity of the project. The teachers have experienced transformation, the committees have gained satisfaction of contribution and the children are gifted with the treasure of knowledge. All I can say is that whoever is connected with SCVP in whichever way—it is a lifetime opportunity to gain in the process of giving.
Shri Chandana Vidyapeeth Jain School: Empowering our children to become the ambassadors of tomorrow Shri Chandana Vidyapeeth Jain School (SCVP), established by Veerayatan, is not just any evening school teaching Jainism to children and adults, but a school which cultivates a lifetime of learning and giving. Students never forget this experience and to them it remains special and valued long after they have ceased walking through it’s doors. The school has had spiritual blessings bestowed upon it by Acharya Shri Chandanaji Maharaj and Sadhvi Shri Shilapiji, therefore whoever attends the school is fortunate enough to tap into this grace, leaving an indelible imprint on them for an entire lifetime.
