Jitendrabhai will be giving Swadhyay on this book હૃદયપ્રદીપ ષટ્ત્રિશિંકા સ્વાધ્યાય અંતરમાં પડેલા અનાદિકાળના અંધારાને દૂર કરીને હૃદયને દિવ્ય પ્રકાશથી જગમગતું કરી દેનારા ૩૬ શ્લોક એટલે હૃદય પ્રદીપ. આ નાનકડી કૃતિના રચયિતા કોણ છે તે જાણવામાં આવ્યું નથી. આ અજ્ઞાત કર્તૃક કૃતિના પ્રત્યેક શ્લોકમાં સુવિચારો ભરી દેવામાં આવ્યા છે. આ ૩૬ શ્લોક ને આચાર્યોએ અંતરને પ્રકાશિત કરનાર 36 દેવડાઓ કહ્યા છે. હૃદયને કોમળ અને વિશાળ બનાવનાર ચૈતન્યની મલિનતા દૂર કરી અને સાચી સત્યની અનુભૂતિ કરાવનારો આ ગ્રંથ અત્યંત ઉપયોગી છે. આ ગ્રંથનો સ્વાધ્યાય દરેક આત્માર્થી જીવોને આનંદ આપનારો બનશે. જ્ઞાનાર્જન કરવા આ સ્વાધ્યાયમાં જોડાતા ચૂકશો નહિ તથા અન્યને પણ જોડાવા પ્રેરિત કરશો. ધન્યવાદ 🌻🌻🌻 –––––––––––––––– DAY AND TIME Monday, October 10th -Sunday, October 16th, 2022 8:30 – 10:00 PM EST –––––––––––––––– Zoom Link: http:// https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89156812088?pwd=SCtoNnIra3ZNdEsybUc5UEphTFRRZz09

Jivdaya Update
On behalf of Jiv Daya committee we would like to thank you for your generous contributions and able to collect $ 9493. These contributions will make a remarkable difference and will provide invaluable services to mute, sick, aged, and helpless animals and birds in rural areas of India and here in the USA.
Currently we have a fund for this cause and would like to disperse it to needy Panjarapoles in India and animal centers in North America. If you have any info on names of needy Panjrapole or animal centers, please provide contact info and name of Panjarapole to Niranjanbhai Shah @248-553-7327
Panjarapole receiving fund in India will get grass/fodder through Wakaner Panjarapole. Due to New regulations fund can be received by approved institution from Government of India, and we are transferring fund through Ramroti Institution which is one of the approved institutions who agreed to help to disperse fund at no cost.
From Jiv Daya Fund JSGD will donate $ 5000 for GURUDEV CHITRABHANU MEMORIAL PANJARAPOLE, Shankheshawar-Ahmedabad. Gurudev Chitrabhanuji – “Man of the Millennium”; dedicated his life to Ahimsa, Compassion, Veganism, and for wellbeing of all animals; Gurudev Founded “JAINA’ and helped start many Jain centers across North America; Gurudev initiated Jivdaya and Vegan committees in JAINA and he was frequent visitor of our center from start.
