Wellness Challenge - Do 15 Minutes Of Cardio Activity Everday
For the upcoming weekly challenge we are challenging the participants to "do 15 minutes of cardio activity daily.” It's easy to get home at the end of a long day, flop on the couch and remain there for hours. Instead of shrugging off the idea of exercise in favor of watching your favorite reruns, set a modest goal of getting 15 minutes of cardio exercise every day. Doing so doesn't require a significant time commitment and can provide benefits to positively affect several areas of your life. For more information and to participate in the challenge, click here. |

Other News & Events
1) JCSC Jinalaya Anniversary Celebration Coverage in INDIA WEST Newspaper INDIA WEST covered the 27th Anniversary Celebrations of our Jinalaya. Please click on the link below to see the full coverage: 2) Jain Family Camp By Samaniji Vikas Pragya and Samniji Ratna Pragya Let us get a little more spiritual, hone our meditation and yoga skills, and enhance our understanding of the religion that we so admire and practice. Living, walking, learning, eating, laughing and entertaining ourselves as an extended family would be an added, unforgettable experience!!! In his book, Understanding Joy and Sorrow, Acharyashri Mahapragya links the perennial creation of joy and sorrow to one’s own mind. Favorable conditions stimulate joy, whereas unfavorable conditions result in sorrow. The same mind that makes human beings the smartest creatures in the world also engulfs them in futile joy and sorrow. The inability of the mind to differentiate between the body and soul causes one to be a slave to transitory joy and sorrow. However, happiness is beyond Joy and Sorrow - in fact, it’s a state beyond the mind. We are fortunate to have very learned Samanijis, Samani Vikas Pragya and Samani Ratna Pragya, to guide and educate us during this retreat. The 3 day camp at Camp Cedar Falls, will be about learning to free ourselves from the mind game of joy and sorrow. Samanijis will guide and educate us in taking the path of eternal happiness with help of spiritual principles and meditation techniques. The registration for the retreat can be made online at www.HaveAPeacefulDay.org Please spread the word and please register soon. We eagerly look forward to spending time with you during this exciting and memorable event. Please feel free to call Umang Bhavsar (213-590-3660) for any questions. |
