Dear Sadharmik brothers and sisters,

Jai Jinendra!


🙏


On this second day of Paryushan, let's deepen our resolve to live a life of non-violence (Ahimsa). By embracing Ahimsa, we can foster harmony within ourselves and the world around us. Let our thoughts, words, and actions be a testament to the power of compassion.

We encourage you to join our live lectures conducted by Jain Scholars in English, Gujarati, and Hindi, both in the morning and evening. The Paryushan lectures will also be accessible through the JAINA Mobile app for your convenience.
