My Exploration with the Truth
By Aarthy Shah
In this article, a young biomedical engineer from Boston, Aarthy Shah, tells us about her transformational experience of attending Updhaan in the sanidhya of Rashtrasant Param Gurudev Shree Namaramuni Maharaj Saheb.
About her experience, Aarthy says, “Updhaan was my first chance to experience a Saiyami lifestyle. To learn that Jainism is not just a religion, but a way of living. It is one that embraces non-violence to the minutest of micro-organisms. Beyond the beauty of the lifestyle, it is a simple, worry-free practice that enables you to have so much time to spend on searching for your soul.”
