FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
Dear Reader,
Jai Jinendra!
The International School for Jain Studies (ISJS) is dedicated to promoting the principles of Jain philosophy as an exemplary way of life. About seven years ago, ISJS initiated a winter program aimed at convening scholars and enthusiasts of Jainism to explore and discuss the potential of Jain studies to effect positive transformations in individuals’ lifestyles. We meticulously selected pertinent topics and developed an introductory course tailored to meet the needs of beginners. This program encompasses an introduction to various Jain concepts and includes interactive discussions with Jain householders and monks, providing insights into how they harmoniously and contentedly lead their lives..
After Covid-19, the program transitioned to an online platform, significantly broadening its reach. Since then, numerous participants have benefited from the program, deepening their interest in Jain studies. This year, ISJS is poised to launch its 7th winter program, continuing its mission to make a meaningful impact as the winter season approaches.
Rhythm of Life, another program centered on the Jain way of life, is a comprehensive retreat inspired by ancient Indian philosophies, neuroscience, and personal experiences. This program is back with an emphasis on beliefs, values, and perspectives, fostering opportunities for profound introspection. It guides the participants to develop a vision, and actionable plans based on their introspective insights.
The programs are open for one and all and ISJS wishes a healthy spiritual life to all the participants!
