Dear Sadharmiks,
Jai Jinendra! Pranam!

Inside the June 2022 Jain Digest issue, read an article by Dilip Parekh on Understanding the Subconscious Mind, where he talks about how many of us feel we are victims of our circumstances, forgetting our power as creators of our life. Understanding how our subconscious mind works will help us navigate our actions rather than just reacting to what life throws at us. If you are interested in writing an article for the October 2022 Jain Digest, please contact the Jain Digest team at the below mentioned email ID.

Do you know when Bhaktamar Shlokas are recited with commitment, sincerity, and devotion, this magnificent composition has the latent power to lighten our karmic load and connect us with the Jineshwar Bhagwan or the divinity within. With an intention to get cleansed and soak ourselves in the spirit of the festival, the Jain Center of British Columbia celebrates Shree Bhaktamar Maha Pujan/Vidhan at Jain Temple of BC - Surrey on August 7.

Study the essence of Shree Bhaktamar Maha Stotra by Dr. Bipin Doshi on July 18th, 22nd, 25th, and 29th. It would be on Zoom.

July 26, 2022, is Gurudev Shri Chitrabhanuji’s 100th birth Anniversary. JAINA will pay homage and celebrate the 100th anniversary by scheduling a lecture in his honor on every July 26. The inaugural lecture will be delivered by Padma Shri Kumarpalbhai Desai on Tuesday July 26 on the Zoom platform. JAINA will also host a tribute on Saturday, the morning of July 30th featuring a mini concert by Bollywood sensation Palak Mucchal and tributes by some of the persons who were close to Gurudev Chitrabhanuji.

Learn 2 Liberate foundation brings Junior Parmagam Honors where kids will learn Jainism life skills and other fun activities.

Last weekend, YJP had yet another Networking Dinner in Palo Alto. The event turned out incredible and YJP is looking forward to holding a bigger event next time.

Sincerely,

Haresh Shah,
JAINA President

Inside June 2022 Jain Digest


Understanding the Subconscious Mind by Dilip Parekh

Many of us feel that we are a victim of our circumstances and have no control over our lives. In most cases this is a result of our thinking, our mind, and our attitude. We forget that all of us are creators. We can create a happy, fulfilling life for ourselves and our loved ones. However, to do that we need to understand our mind; especially the subconscious mind because 95% of the time it is controlling our behavior!

Jain Center Latest News


Jain Center of British Columbia is overjoyed to host Shri Bhaktamar Maha Pujan/Vidhan, for the first time, performed by Shri Jayeshbhai Jain on Sunday, August 7, 2022, at Jain Temple of BC - Surrey. The event will start with Jin Pooja at 7:00 AM, followed by Bhaktamar Vidhan and lunch.

Bhaktamar shlokas describe the fine qualities of Jineshwar Bhagwan. When recited with commitment, sincerity, and devotion, this magnificent composition has the latent power to lighten our karmic load and connect us with the Jineshwar Bhagwan or the divinity within. Bhaktamar is conjoined from ‘Bhakta’(devotee) and ‘Amar’(immortal), by reciting this Stotra the devotee gets free from the worldly bonds, attains salvation, and hence becomes immortal.

JCBC invites each of our beloved community members to get ready to be cleansed and ready to soak in the spiritual festival that's awaiting. To attend, please contact here.
