At the request of Surendraji Borad, on 9th September Samani Prasanna Pragya and Samani Rohit Pragya went to Antwerp from Poland. During their eight-day trip, they stayed with Jain families living in Antwerp. Everyday a session was organized in evening from 8-10pm. Many children, youths and adults took part in the programme. Samani Rohit Pragya explained the life story of Bhagwan Mahaveer with some of his previous lives. Samani Prasanna Pragya spoke on various spiritual topics like “Theory of Karma”, “Power of Forgiveness”, “Non violence in the Family”, “Importance of Human Life” and Nine Tattvas in very simple language with illustrations.

Clair, a research student of Ghent University visited the Samanijis and asked many questions. The Samanijis showed her many books written by Acharya Mahapragya and also presented some books which can be helpful for her to know more about Jainism and Preksha meditation. She paid hearty gratitude to the Samanijis and requested them to conduct a session in Ghent University.

On behalf of whole Jain community, Surendraji Borad and Shashi Prakash Bhansali paid their gratitude to Samanijis for accepting their request and providing spiritual guidance to them and their children. Rameshbhai Mehta, one of the chief members of the Gujarati Jain Community of Antwerp invited the Samanijis to the Jain centre to conduct Preksha Meditation Camp in 2010.

The whole trip (Poland-Belgium-Italy) of Samanijis was sponsored by Surendraji Borad (Antwerp).
