Mystic Poetry in Jainsim

Monday 22nd May 2023
19::00 - 21:30

Location: Kamran Djam Lecture Theatre (DLT), SOAS University of London 10 Thornhaugh Street London WC1H 0XG

Separate registration required - use the button below:

Young Jains and Raj Saubhag UK invite you to an inspiring talk on the lives, times and poetry of some mystic poets of Jainism.

Each verse of these poems contains the distilled essence of crucial spiritual concepts that when reflected on, contemplated and fully understood open the door to our innate bliss. Often presented as riddles for the seeker to decode, they are designed to inspire philosophical thought and lead ultimately to the nectar of immortality.

Join us for a fascinating talk to discover more about the lives and times of some such mystic poets of Jainism as also to explore some of their poetry.

The presenters, Minal Shah and Vikram Shah, have spent several decades exploring and imbibing such poetry under the guidance of their Spiritual teachers.

They are both part of a continuous lineage from the days of Shrimad Rajchandra, himself a mystical poet who deeply influenced Mahatma Gandhi's philosophical views. Their lineage is based in Sayla, Gujarat, which was the home of Saubhagbhai, Shrimad's soul mate. Shrimad is one of the spiritual figures in the current Pure Soul exhibition at SOAS.

Harmonious Relationships

English Swadhyay
Wednesday 24th May
8pm - 9:30pm - Interactive event with Minalben & Vikrambhai

Relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Whether its the relationship we have with ourselves, our family, our friends, our fellow students, or our work colleagues: we have to navigate these on a daily basis.

Harmony within these relationships isn’t always easy, and there are many mindsets that we can adopt in order to make our relationships smoother sailing, more loving and mutually invaluable.

Minalben and Vikrambhai will show us how Jain principles such as universal friendships, appreciation of others’ qualities, acceptance, equanimity, and many more can be applied in our daily lives to improve the quality of our relationships. Much of this is a by-product of the compassion we have for our own selves and souls- and we will discuss this too!

This will be a very practical session, yet the learnings shared will be rooted in deep spirituality. So join us and be inspired in taking your relationships to the next level!

Overcoming Overwhelm

English Swadhyay

Thursday 25th May
8pm - 9:30pm - Interactive event with Minalben & Vikrambhai

We live in an age of incessant digital distractions. A plethora of stimuli are constantly competing for our attention- be those social media updates, emails, phones, online content, chatroom messages etc! Human attention is the new gold- with new apps every day trying to coax millions of humans to enter into addictive behaviour patterns, only to mine their personal data and harvest their airtime for displaying targeted advertisements. Likewise the boundaries between work and personal life have been blurred, thanks to the advancement of technologies that facilitate remote work and keep us continuously connected.

How does one overcome such overwhelming distractions? How can we remain centred whilst navigating through the attention economy. How do we tame and ultimately master the flow of our attention such that we can utilize it for our inner and outer well-being?

Join us for an English language talk with senior spiritual teachers from Raj Saubhag Satsang Mandal, Sayla - Minal Shah & Vikram Shah to learn more about how ancient Jain ideologies and practices can help us with overcoming overwhelm.

Tuesday 23rd May
7.15pm - Aarti & Mangal Divo
7.45pm - Seated in main hall
8.00pm - Satsang with Param Pujya Bhaishree

Drawing on Bhagwan Mahavir’s path, through the teachings of Shrimad Rajchandra, Bhaishree brings the ancient wisdom to relevance today, helping us live harmoniously in our day to day lives, as well as taking us closer to Moksha.

Shrimad Rajchandra was keen to reinvigorate the faith in Bhagwan’s true inner path, one of a noble life with the most elevated thinking. Mahavir Bhagwan lived an exemplary life.  He lived and preached a message arising from his Total Enlightenment as an Omniscient. 

Shrimad’s mind and heart had a deep understanding and experience of Bhagwan’s Truths and yet he lived in this modern world, in busy Mumbai. He imparted wisdom of the highest order and guided people in a very practical way. In the modern world, his impact on Gandhiji is well known.

Shibir

Saturday 27th - Wednesday 31st May
5 day shibir - over the bank holiday weekend.
9:15am - 5:15pm each day
English sessions available with Br Minalben & Br Vikrambhai Sat 27th - Mon 29th

Topic: Samyag Darshan Shatak
Author: Acharya Shree Bhanuvijayji Maharaj
Download the book here

Through his infinite grace and compassion, Param Pujya Bhaishree’s primary focus has been to guide mumukshus on their spiritual journey towards self-realisation. Not only has he imparted to seekers the ancient technique of Sudharas meditation that turns consciousness away from external thoughts, feelings, sensations and perceptions towards its source, but he also has gently and patiently aided seekers on this inner journey of awakening. Most important of these, are the regularly held Dhyan Shibirs (Meditation Intensives) where seekers can withdraw themselves from all forms of external distractions and immerse deeply into their meditation practice under the tutelage of Bhaishree.

We will all have the blessed opportunity to participate in such a Dhyan Shibir during the 2023 UK Dharmayatra. This Shibir will span 5-days with 3 hour-long meditations daily, interspersed with two Satsangs by Param Pujya Bhaishree. All participants will also receive one-on-one guidance and feedback on their practice from the Brahmanishths.

Those seekers that are un-initiated in the art of meditation are welcome to attend the Shibir. During the second and third meditations, there will be special discourses for such seekers by senior spiritual teachers from Raj Saubhag Satsang Mandal- Minal Shah and Vikram Shah. During the first three days of the shibir, such discourses will be delivered in English so as to enable young seekers as also those that are unfamiliar with Gujarati to learn about foundational Jain principles. More information on these can be found in the English Language Events section.
