A N  I N V I T A T I O N

Dear friend, 

I hope you received my earlier circular in which I had announced the holding of the three-day International Nonviolence Leadership Training Camp at Children's Peace Palace, Rajsamand near Udaipur (Raj.) INDIA from Feb. 5th to 7th, 2010 with preliminary information about it and sought your constructive suggestions so that it could be made an unforgettable transformative experience. In deference to the wishes of many aspirants the dates have been advanced to 5th Feb. 2010. I am thankful to many of you who responded positively. I have now finalized the entire programme and am pleased to send it to you to enable you to avail yourself of this rare opportunity being offered at a highly subsidized cost.

Background and Purpose

His Holiness Acharya Mahapragya - the 89 year old Jain Acharya and a Dhyan Yogi par excellence has been crusading for peace through nonviolence for the last six decades. 10 years ago he embarked on Ahimsa Yatra (journey on foot to create ahimsa awareness) and healed the wounds of the victims of Gujarat riots in 2002.

Through a series of experiments and intensive research he realized that mere discourses and theoretical expositions of nonviolence would not bring about a change in the attitudes of children, youths and adult people. Each human being has within him infinite transcendental powers but they remain dormant and inactive. As a result he or she is easily inclined towards violence and all sermons fail to inspire him. In the course of his deep meditative states Acharya Mahapragya discovered that each human body has in it certain psychic centres which unleash positive and healing energies if they are activated. He invented some specific meditative postures which activate these centers and create a highly soothing, calming and transformative impact on human mind. The transformative meditation developed by him is known the world over as Preksha Meditation. It is a scientifically tested technique which enables the practitioner to fathom out the depths of his subconscious which is considered to be the storehouse of all the remedies for human problems. Preksha Meditation has been found effective in eliminating extreme stressful conditions, depression and despair. A person's impulsive impetuousity is the main cause of violence. Nonviolence Training aims at teaching an individual to control this harmful state of his mind and enhance his emotional competence.

First and Second International Nonviolence Leadership Training Camps

We have been organizing nonviolence training camps for the last ten years and the results are highly encouraging. We organized the First and Second International Nonviolence Leadership Training Camps under the auspices of His Holiness Acharya Mahapragya and his successor Yuvacharya Mahashraman at our Peace Palace Rajsamand from Dec. 26 to 28, 2007 and from 13 Nov. to 14 Nov. 2008 at Jaipur. They were attended by a large number of persons hailing from 12 countries including India. I recently organized a short nonviolence training course (non-residential) in London JVB Centre which attracted fifty participants. Samani Prasanna Pragya and Rohit Pragya oversaw and organized practical exercises and inspired the participants. It was hailed as a highly successful course.

What will one gain out of this training?

He who attends this three-day course will feel and realize that

1. his inner chaos and stress are completely eliminated;
2. his emotional competence has increased tremendously;
3. his heart is filled with inner peace and happiness;
4. his power of immunity against diseases has been strengthened;
5. his positive outlook on life and self-confidence have developed considerably.

He will come out wholly transformed equipped with new strategies to live an ecologically viable life in joyous spirits. The positive impact one will feel after the course cannot be described in words. Only the participants know what it means.

Who are the trainers?

The trainers are trained and experienced disciples of His Holiness Acharya Mahapragya including nonviolence exponents and the revered samanis who will expose the trainees to practical exercises. We have a galaxy of people who have insightful understanding of the many facets of nonviolence (ahimsa) and who have undergone inner transformation. They will elucidate the subtle aspects of ahimsa (nonviolence) to the participants.

Course Content

It consists of four components

1. Conceptual Understanding of Nonviolence
   Lectures on various facets of ahimsa will be delivered by internationally reputed nonviolence exponents.
2. Transformation of Heart
   It consists of practical exercises of meditative postures and yogic exercises. We have highly trained people to do the job.
3. Nonviolence Lifestyle           
   The trainers will familiarize the trainees with the essential ingredients of nonviolent lifestyle which will stabilize the impact created on their minds by this training.
4. Right Means of Livelihood and Tools of Self-Employment
   The trainers will highlight the significance of earning righteously. Right means of earning paves the way for inner and outer peace. It also is a path to prosperity.

Duration of the Course

This course is geared to helping individuals to experience immense positive power within. It is planned for three-days only but it is a complete residential course beginning from the evening of 4th Feb. 2010 and ending in the late evening of 7th Feb. 2010. The participants must arrive on or before 4th Feb. 2010 and would be able to leave only in the morning of 8th Feb. Later those who want to be trainees can join a five-week intensive course. The participants of both this elementary course and those who attend the intensive course later will get certificates of participation.

Other Attractions

The participants who want to extend their stay and see the places of tourist interest in the area can be taken round Udaipur and Chittorgarh Fort - the two internationally known places of tourist interest at an extra cost of just 100 US dollars or 35 US dollars or equivalent thereof  or participants from SAARC for each. It will include transport, meals and stay foe one night. Chittorgarh Fort is a thousand year old fort situated on a hill. Udaipur is known as the city of Lakes.
