Holi is a celebration of such joy and positivity that its energy is contagious.
For a spiritual seeker this festival is also about a spirit of forgiveness, and a conquering of passions and desires. It is a day to drench the soul in the hues of purity and divinity.
Ayambil Oli is a festival of 9 days celebrating and paying homage to the Navpad (The Navpad are also found in the Navkar Mantra).
"The greatest mistake of a soul is non-recognition of its real self and can only be corrected by recognising itself", preached Lord Mahavir.
On this day we celebrate the birth of the 24th Tirthanker Shree Mahavir Bhagwan (Mahavir Janma Kalyanak).
The Kalpasutra text cites Kundagrama as the place where he was born. This site is believed by tradition to be near Vaishali, a great ancient town in the Gangetic plains.
After Mahavir was born, the god Indra came from the heavens, anointed him, and performed his abhisheka (consecration) on Mount Meru.
After he gained Kevalgnan, or supreme enlightenment Mahavir Bhagwan taught that the observance of the vows ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truth), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (chastity), and aparigraha (non-attachment) is necessary to spiritual liberation. He gave the principle of Anekantavada (plurality of view points), Syadvada and Nayavada. The teachings of Mahavir Bhagwan were compiled in the Jain Agams.
The inner path of self-realisation that Bhagwan Mahavir practised, realised and taught, remains alive today in the hearts of enlightened teachers. They illuminate the path and help us: understand the essence of Mahavir's teachings and recognise the inner state of Bhagwan Mahavir, the supreme manifestation of the pure soul, our own true nature.

Param Krupaludev Shrimad Rajchadra’s soul left this body in Rajkot, Gujarat on Chaitra Vad Pancham.
Today we pay homage to this Enlightened Saint who has showed us Mahavir Bhagwan’s inner path of Self-Realisation.
Ekant Maun & Aradhana Shibirs are 5 day spiritual retreats held for intensive spiritual striving in a conducive external environment of silence and isolation. Registration required for Ekant Maun Shibirs.
The syllable "Gu" is darkness, and the syllable "Ru" is said to be light. There is no doubt that the Guru is indeed the supreme knowledge that swallows the darkness of ignorance.
- Shree Guru Gita
It is with immense joy and utmost devotion that we invite you all to join us in the celebration of Gurupurnima.
Gurupurnima is certainly one of the most important dates in the calendar for any spiritual seeker as it is a day to drench ourselves in the love and blessings that our spiritual teacher has unconditionally showered upon us.

Aso Vad 1
Aso Vad 1
Following a request from Shree Saubhagbhai of Sayla, Shrimad Rajchandra composed the great Atma Sidhi Shastra in the town of Nadiad, Gujarat. The 142 verses emerged in one sitting of less than 2 hours.
This composition explains the Jain path to Moksha. Besides being highly spiritual, it is also a classic of Gujarati literature and has been the subject of numerous translations, commentaries and is also studied at universities for doctorates in philosophy even today.
Shrimad had sent a copy of the letter on 'The Six Spiritual Tenets' to Shri Saubhagbhai with an instruction to learn it by heart and to contemplate on its contents regularly. Due to old age, Saubhagbhai found it difficult to memorise the prose form of the letter and requested Shrimad to re-write the letter in rhythmic verse form so that he could easily memorise it and make it a part of himself.
During Bhadarva and Aso months of Vikram Samvat 1952, Shrimad spent his time in the jungles of Gujarat contemplating in solitude. From there he came to the town of Nadiad where a great event took place on the first day of the later half of the Aso month. When Shrimad returned from his day's outing at dusk, he called on Ambalalbhai: "Ambalal, light and hold a lantern".
Ambalalbhai, a great Truth seeker, humble as ever did as asked and stood by Shrimad's side with a lit lantern. Shrimad sat and started writing. A miraculous stream of inspiration full of profound spiritual insight began to flow. His sublime spritual state became his pen and the essence of his profound thinking became his ink. He began to compose verses with the potency to awaken slumbering souls. The 142 verses of Atma Siddhi Shastra had emerged in one sitting of less than two hours.

Shrimadji was a beacon of truth, his every moment filled with equanimity. Despite his extreme detachment, Shrimad quietly lived the life of a householder and performed his duties towards his family and business. His heart overflowed with love and devotion and this manifested in his poetry and writings which were filled with the nectar residing in the agam scriptures. The verses and letters penned by Shrimad have quenched the thirst of many spiritual seekers, inspiring their journey on the path of spirituality. He was the last disciple of Lord Mahavir. He is our Lord and God, Param Krupalu Dev Shrimad Rajchandraji, the torch bearer, whose teachings have shown us the path to liberation in this kalyug era.
To enshrine him in the heart of all seekers a magnificent 9ft marble idol, in the padmasana pose, has been carved and will be consecrated in the new Raj Mandir in Raj Saubhag Ashram, Sayla. This pratishtha Mahotsav or consecration celebration will take place over 7 days from 4th to 10th March 2019.
The celebrations will include five poojans which will be held in the Raj Mandir during these days.
The consecration ceremony will take place on the 8th and 9th of March 2019.
All those who wish to be a part of this event are requested to reach by the 4th of March. We shall share the timetable of events on this page shortly.

After breakfast we proceed for Bhadravati Parshwanath Shwetambar Jain Temple. Traveling time 1 hour. We will conduct sevapuja, bhakti, chaityavandan followed by lunch at Bhadravati. We then proceed for Nagpur, travelling time 2 hours. Evening dinner at Nagpur and catch Duranto Express train at 9 pm for Mumbai.
Those attending the meditation shibir in Sayla will need to make their own arrangements to reach Mumbai by the 2nd of January. Those who wish to depart the Jatra a few days earlier than the schedule will have to make their own arrangements to return to Mumbai with help from the organisers.
The organisers need to make the train bookings as soon as the Indian railways releases tickets which will be in the first few days September. Therefore at admittedly short notice we request you to register no later than Friday 26th August. Those in India can register online or directly with Mitesh Boradia (+91 9820127280) or Dr Jitubhai Nagda (+91 9821143567) by SMS or WhatsApp. Please indicate if you wish to depart earlier than 9th Jan in the comments section.
If you are inclined to participate but uncertain about the dates, you are welcome to register now so that the train bookings can be made. There will then be a window for making the full payment (around 30th September) within which you can decide to cancel and forfeit only the train cost (approximately INR 2000).
Our biggest fortune is to have Param Pujya Bapuji, Gurumaa and Bhaishree in our lives. Their divine shelter and continuous care has uplifted our souls.
Expressing our veneration we want to bow at Bhaishree's lotus feet and thank Him for his immense grace.

Resolution card (Sankalp)
Gurudev is inwardly detached and has no want of materialistic gifts. Our spiritual progress and evolution is what he compassionately desires. The best gift for us to give him is to pledge to strive harder, be focussed and energised on our path and never forget our spiritual purpose.
As in previous years we will keep a box for you to place your resolution card in at the entrance to the venue. In this card we declare our promise of whatever we wish to do (over and above our agnas) to further strengthen our spiritual progress.
For those overseas or unable to join in Mumbai you can fill your resolution here online by clicking the button below:
Ayambil Oli is a festival of 9 days celebrating and paying homage to the Navpad (The Navpad are also found in the Navkar Mantra).

Samvatsari Pratikraman will be conducted on the last day (5th Sept 2016 this year) on which one repents for one's entire year's sins.
