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.

With Br Minalben & Br Vikrambhai
Saturday 27th - Monday 29th May (Bank Holiday)
3 day shibir
11:45am - 3:30pm (including lunch)
Alongside the Dhyan Shibir, we are delighted to be hosting a 3-day English Language Shibir.
This will comprise of two English discourses with a lunch break in between them. These discourses will be facilitated by Minalben and Vikrambhai, senior spiritual teachers from Raj Saubhag Satsang Mandal, both of who have many years of spiritual practice under the guidance of Param Pujya Bapuji and Param Pujya Bhaishree. Both of them have an extremely lively and joyful style of teaching which tends to enliven the whole atmosphere and give rise to a deep desire in listeners to immerse themselves further into the spiritual path.
The topic for these discourses will be 'The Path to Practical Spirituality'. During these sessions, Minalben & Vikrambhai will bring to light some of the most foundational & crucial concepts that are essential for all spiritual seekers to imbibe in order to walk the spiritual path. They will begin by introducing the teachings of Lord Mahavir & Param Krupaludev Shrimad Rajchandra, and by highlighting the importance of the trinity of Sat Dev, Sat Dharma & Sat Guru. Further they will speak about the importance of unwavering faith on the spiritual path and also share their insights on the ultimate spiritual goal of self-realisation.
