Third Anniversary of JVB Preksha Meditation Centre
JVB third pratishtha anniversary program was held under the guidance of Samani Parimal Prgyaji and Samani Amit Prgyaji. 'Peace is your Nature' was the theme. Just like as deer run after musk in a forest, in the same way man runs after material world to find peace when he can find it within himself. Samani Parimal Prgyaji tested audience by asking riddles -'pehchano mei kaun hu'. Through the answers she explained how reality cannot be separated from your soul. Example given was of fingers- thumb representing passion, index finger as raag and dwesh, middle fin-ger as soul, ring finger as the quali-ties of knowledge and little finger represent as the family of passion.

Chaitya Paripati
Five Jain associations - Jain Society of Houston (JSH), Waco, Austin, Dallas & Wis-consin were welcomed by JVB Preksha Meditation Centre which included total 150 people. Jain flag was com-memorated along and different views were presented by all the Sanghpatis. Inspiration was given by Samani-ji to become jain not only by birth but also by actions. This was a unique event held at this scale for the first time on North America.
Among the scholars from American Society of Indian Engineers, Samani Parimal Pragyaji put her thoughts on 'Health and Happiness' by saying both are complementary to each other and can be addressed with the word 'well being'. She further added well being is of four kinds- physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Preksha Dhyan techniques were done to balance these four.
