Everyone can attain Infinite Happiness and Infinite Bliss by ending all kinds of sufferings. He laid down two sets of Paths - one for the Mendicant (Sadhu/Sadhvi) and the other for the Householder (Gruhastha). We as Householders who want to follow that Path should, first of all, have proper & correct knowledge of that Path. Therefore, not only should we find out what the Path is, but also understand how to follow that Path.That is the way to achieve TRUE HAPPINESS & BLISS in our daily life as well as attain the ultimate GOAL. We have arranged a 2 Day Shibir in August, 2015 (Sat/Sun-8/9) to explore, investigate, apply and ultimately imbibe in our day to day life those six essentials (Commands of Bhagwan Mahavir for us). Please join us for an experience of Enlightenment. You will not be disappointed!!!

Eating too many of these empty calories has many health effects, the most obvious being major weight gain. Added sugar drives your insulin levels up, messes with your metabolism, and causes those calories to turn right into belly fat.
