Prerequisites for achieving Samyak Darshan
by Anop Vora
Jain scriptures maintain that a vast majority of souls are wandering around the universe through the cycle of death and birth due to wrong perceptions (Beliefs) and ignorance. In this human life, we are given a huge opportunity in the form of a conducive environment to break up this vicious cycle. We can do this by understanding the Lord’s teachings, believing in them, and molding our life accordingly under the guidance of a Sadguru. An important step in this spiritual path is achieving Samyak Darshan.
In this article, Anop Vora describes the prerequisites required for us to succeed in this endeavor. He says, “(To achieve Samyak Darshan), we do not have to have an in-depth knowledge of the scriptures, nor does it require living a perfect life. But it does require a pure heart, total faith in the basic teachings, and a dramatic shift in the quality of our motives, thoughts, emotions, and feelings. This is indeed a giant step towards achieving liberation.”

Love is beautiful, but finding the right person can be challenging. That’s why Jain Connect’s first in-person singles event in Atlanta was such a success. Attendees were thrilled to have a chance to dress up, let loose, and meet new people who share their values and beliefs.
A weekend event from March 3-5, 2023, had a fantastic turnout of sixty-two participants, with thirty women and thirty-two men from diverse backgrounds and professions, including finance, the fitness industry, medicine, entertainment, and technology. They came from seventeen different states. Despite their differences, everyone united in their desire to connect with others and potentially find a romantic partner.
They had fun-filled ice-breaking sessions, including flash dating, Wanda vision expectations, icebreaker games, Bollywood jeopardy, a Family feud, an escape room, and even a Bollywood dance night. Attendees also had the privilege of hearing from Dr. Manoj Jain and Dr. Sunita Jain, who shared their invaluable life experiences with the group.
