Dear

Jain Vishva Bharati is a global Jain organisation run under the guidance of Spiritual Leader H.H. Acharya Mahapragya based in India. It is committed to spreading the ideals of peace and non-violence throughout the world. Jain Vishva Bharati London, with the blessings of Acharya Mahapragya and overseen by Samanijis was established to spread this same message in Europe.

The Jain philosophy of Ahimsa (Non-Violence) means the consciousness of self-restraint and renunciation. It gets no support from the external world; therefore awakening it depends upon specific efforts. Life today is full of problems, which need solutions. For this reason the UN General Assembly has declared 2000 to 2010 as a Decade of a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World.

Non-violence is a solution. What we need is its systematic training. We are therefore pleased to announce the launch of a special course called

“Enrich Your Life Through Practice of Non-Violence”

In addition to regular workshops held, we have planned an eight-session training course later in the year, which is open to all regardless of religion, cast or creed. 

His Holiness Acharya Mahapragya, who is famous for his Ahimsa Andolan (Movement) and his Ahimsa Yatra (Peace March) says, attitudinal changes can occur only if trainees are also exposed to practical exercises. The aim of this course is to enrich one’s lifestyle by providing both theoretical and practical training in living a more peaceful and non-violent lifestyle.

We value your interest and support and would appreciate your presence / representation from your organisation in this time of increased violence around the world. Please reply by 30th July 2009 and inform us of the name/s of your delegates attending. 

We look forward to meeting you. For further information please contact:
