14th year of enlightenment thru 'Learning & brain storming'  

Jain Study Group Sessions are held usually on second Sunday of each month from 2.00 - 4.00 pm at the residence of host family. Please come with family & friends and participate in the interactive learning to enrich your knowledge in the Principles & Philosophy of Jain Dharma. Currently the group is studying Chapter 8 of ‘Tattvarth-Sutra', the most widely accepted and studied amongst Jain scriptures. We are following a text book in Gujarati and a supplementary Q/A book in Hindi. The study is interactive at a slow pace covering Tattvarth-Sutra in details and in depth, still keeping it as simple as possible. There are elaborate discussions, inputs, and Q/A in Gujarati, Hindi and English. Any one with some background and exposure to the principles of Jainism should be able to understand and learn the topics. This is a long awaited and rare opportunity of studying 'Tattvarth-Sutra, while in US and in a relaxed environment. I encourage all of you to give some priority to Jain Study group in your schedule and come once a month to participate.
