ભગવાન મહાવીર દેવનો આચાર ધર્મ (ક્રિયા અને જ્ઞાનનું સમન્વય): July 23-24, 2016 | | Wellness Challenge - Get A Physical Exam Or A Health Screening | | For the upcoming weekly challenge we are challenging the participants to "get a physical exam or a health screening.” Getting a physical exam or a health screening will help you understand your current health condition. For some people, having an annual physical examination is a source of reassurance that they're as healthy as they feel. Others see it as an alarm system, to catch health problems before they become serious. The value of the routine annual exam has been debated recently, but it remains a cherished tradition among many doctors and patients.

b) In addition, we would like to inform you of an important lecture coming up:
When: Sunday, July 10, 2:30 pm
What: Worshiping the Dispassionate Lord: Rituals of Jain Piety
A lecture by Dr. John E. Cort, Professor of Asian & Comparative Religions, Denison University
The Jains are well known to scholars of Indian art for their thousands of elaborate temples which house three-dimensional stone and metal icons of the Jinas, enlightened and liberated teachers, and are among the masterpieces of Indian religious architecture. Cort explains the basic rituals of Jain piety, which are performed in large pilgrimage temples, in smaller neighborhood temples, and also at home shrines. His talk supplements and expands upon the many objects on display in the exhibition, and allows viewers to appreciate how these objects are simultaneously ritual implements and works of art.
