Residential Shibir 2015 - By Shree Deepakbhai Shah (Bardoli)

Respected Shravak / Shravika 

Pranam,

A residential Shibir is a fantastic medium to learn, understand and explore Jain philosophy whilst also reflecting upon our inner selves and our faith, in a collective and cohesive manner, in a particularly conducive environment.

Melbourne Shwetambar Jain Sangh (MSJS), with the support from Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide Jain Sangh, cordially invites you to attend and participate in Residential Shibir 2015 during Easter holidays between 3rd to 6th April 2015.

Swadhyay Premi Shree Deepakbhai Shah (Bardoli) and a team of volunteers from India will lead us to embark on a spiritual journey through this Shibir and Prabhu Bhakti. From a very young age, Deepakbhai has been closely connected with many Jain Sadhu Bhagwant for in depth studies in Jainism. He has been helping many Sadharmik around the world to learn and understand Jain Tatva Gyan via Shibir, Prabhu Bhakti and other religious events. He is well known for his Shasan seva by way of anchoring many religious events including Shibir, Tap Samvedna, Saiyam Anumodana and Shripal Mayna No Raas.

The Shibir is based on Shant Sudharas Granth written by Mahopadhyay Shri Vinay Vijayji Maharaj about 350 years ago. This Granth beautifully explains 16 Bhavanas such as Anitya, Asharan and Ekatva. Shree Deepakbhai will highlight and explain various aspects of the Granth to help us understand and implement its principles in our daily life.

Kind Regards,

Shibir 2015 Committee

Melbourne Shwetambar Jain Sangh.
