Jai Jinendra!
Weekly Monday Study Group
Starting Monday 6th January 2014
We are pleased to announce that from Monday 6th January 2014, we will be running a weekly study group from 8 to 9.30pm, at the Mandir.
The sessions will be based on the shastra "Jain Sidhant Praveshika" by Pandit Shree Gopaldasji Baraiya.
This text is a concise but accurate introduction to the key principles of Jainism, covering a vast array of subjects in a very structured manor.
It is written in a simple Question-Answer format which will allow all participants to easily grasp even difficult concepts. This book can also be used as a Jain Dictionary.
The study group will be highly interactive, the aim being that everyone has a go at reading and trying to interpret the meaning of the various questions and answers for themselves.
The discussions will all be conducted in English.
If you would like to attend the swadhyay sessions please contact info@mahavirjaintemple.com to register your interest.
