Prof. Dr. Klaus Bruhn, reknowned scholar of Jainism, meets Swami Dharmanandji & Nirmalaji at HereNow4U's tea table.
Prof. Bruhn does not live far from HereNow4U / Preksha Meditation Berlin, and did never miss the occasion to meet our dear Indian friends when they came to Berlin. This time, his queries were mostly on the society ‘Jain Vishva Bharati’. Professor Bruhn was astonished to learn that there is no English term for the society aiming to promote Jain Dharma on the international level. The many branches and off springing welfare organisations are not only for him difficult to comprehend, as all of them offer a variety of unknown terms to anyone with another than Indian background. So we hope that the responsible persons feel addressed by our heartily demand for empathy. An encouraging approach had been started by Official Terapanth Sit via Body and Region.

Visiting Berlin Terapanth Family: Amit Ranka
Amit Ranka had invited us to have lunch in his home. He had prepared a tasty Indian lunch. His youngest son Kiran gave honour to his name, meaning ray of sun. Incredible, how children develop in one year! Passing-by of time comes to our awareness at such occasions.
Amit Ranka's eldest son Ramon (l) joined us for lunch.
After lunch, we started for the workshop on Stress Management, taking place at a location in the middle of the town.
