Second, the convention is coming back to Los Angeles after 16 years! This is our chance to work together as a sangh to help throw the best national convention ever. One of the most important things in throwing this convention is having great volunteers. YJA16 will be hosting close to 800 different people from all across the country throughout the weekend, so we need as much help as we can get. Our adult volunteers always have a lot of fun, but it is even more fun if you tell your friends and family to volunteer with you.

After successful shibirs all across US last year, it will be our honor to have Shree Jitenbhai Shah (35 years old) conduct the second series of Discover the Powerful You on the topic of Relations & Karma. In this 2 day Workshop, HE will help explain the Karmic Effect that impacts our Relations - our parents, our children, our colleagues, our friends and everyone we know. પેહલી શિબિરમાં આપણે સ્વની સત ઓળખાણ કરી, હું આત્મા છું એ જાણ્યું. સ્વ અને પરને જે બાંધી રાખે છે એવા ઋણાનુંબંધના સંબંધો પાછળ નું science, કર્મ ની કરામત, અને કઈ રીતે બધા પ્રકારના સંબંધો ને આપણે શાંતિ અને પ્રેમપૂર્વક ન્યાય આપીએ એની અનોખી રીતો માર્ચ 19 અને 20 ની શિબિરનો વિષય છે. શિબિર કર્તા, શ્રી જીતેન ભાઈ શાહ, પાછા આવી રહ્યા છે. તો ચાલો અપણા ઋણાનુંબંધી સાથે કઈ રીતના હસતા રમતા મોક્ષે એ જાણીયે. Last time over 1000 jignasus took advantage of Shree Jitenbhai's workshop.

| | Wellness Challenge - Get 7 to 9 Hours Of Sleep Each Night | | For the upcoming weekly challenge we are challenging the participants to "get 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night.” What difference could an extra hour of sleep make in your life? Maybe quite a lot, experts say. Studies show that the gap between getting just enough sleep and getting too little sleep may affect your health, your mood, and your weight. A good night’s sleep can lower blood pressure and elevated levels of stress hormones, which are a natural result of today’s fast paced lifestyle.
