Samaniji from JVB London are trying to spread the Jain way of life and Preksha Meditation by travelling to different European countries. Samani Prasanna Pragya and Samani Manan Pragya had a short visit of 6 days to Antwerp, Belgium. People were privileged to have Samaniji in Belgium. Hundreds of Jain families are residing there since many decades. They took the full advantage of Samanijis visit.
7th June
On 7th June, Samani Prasanna Pragyaji gave a lecture on Samayik to a group of ladies. Samayik is abstinence from all sinful activities for 48 minutes. Explaining the essence of Lord Mahavir’s teachings, Samani Prasanna Pragya said, “The main preaching of Lord Mahaveer is equanimity. One of the practical exercises to attain equanimity is Samayik. Equanimity in its broader sense strengthens the feeling that all souls are equal and supports a balanced attitude to bear all the vicissitudes of life.” Samani Manan Pragyaji sang a Gujrati song which threw a light on the importance of Samayik.

9th June
On 9th June, one workshop on how to improve memory power and concentration was held for the children aged between 5 -7 years. Almost 15 children participated in it with full enthusiasm.
Apart from this, Samaniji went to many houses of people residing in the area. All took full benefit of Samanijis’ visits.
All evenings, from 20:00 –22:00, Samanijis offered a program with Yoga, relaxation, lecture, and children ´s classes. People took active participation, happy to use the opportunity.
Along with Jain families, we also encountered a western lady named Gabriele who is living an almost restraint life. Since many years, she is limiting herself with vows, like doing fast on alternate days, never eating grain, taking only fruit and Soya, wearing white cloths, and observing silence for a long period. She has devoted her life to spirituality. Her restraint life gives inspiration to all those who come in contact with her.
