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.

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!

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.

Alongside the Dhyan Shibir, we are delighted to be hosting a 3-day English Language Shibir.

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.

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.

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.

All life is sacred. Serving others helps awaken us to this. Come and learn about why social impact and humanitarian work has been core to the Ashram’s philosophy since its inception. Param Pujya Bhaishree, spiritual head of the Raj Saubhag Ashram, will explore with us how the paths of devotion (bhakti), wisdom (gnan) and selfless service (nishkaam karma) work in harmony in the spiritual journey.
Over the past forty years, the Ashram has been engaged in several long-term projects in the nearby impoverished areas of Gujarat. It works in partnership with local communities and other charities to efficiently to improve education, community health, women’s empowerment, water and sanitation, and more. Donors and volunteers who have been involved firsthand in these efforts will share their insights from personal experience.

Minalben, a mother and grandmother, knows all too well the daily trials of parenting. She understands the demands children place upon us and, more importantly, the burden we place on ourselves to be the perfect parent, the right parent, the modern parent, the disciplined parent.
As parents we have an immense responsibility; our children absorb what we think, what we say and how we behave. They translate this and create their own life view. As we seek to teach them to be the best, by pausing, taking a breath, being silent, we can also learn so much from them. Our children give us the opportunity to be the best we can be.
With her spiritual outlook, Minalben gives us the perspective and tools to enhance our parenting such that we have a soul centered approach; by nurturing your own soul, you can nurture your child’s soul.
Whilst you join us here, your children (aged 6 -12 years old) are welcome to join our Children’s Workshop

Anitya Bhavana: Insights from Shant Sudharas, the Nectar of Tranquillity.
Every moment the world around us changes. Our possessions, our loved ones, even our own thoughts and body is subject to change. Given this reality about life, how can we find peace and a sense of security? What do we rely upon when all we hold onto is destructible and untrustworthy?
It is a rare encounter with Truth that wakes us up to this ever changing reality. Underlying this is the constant of Truth, the pure Self. It is the one thing that we can put faith into, the only thing that will stay with us forever.
Param Pujya Bhaishree, spiritual head of Shree Raj Saubhag Ashram, will share his insights on the path of self-realisation, illuminated by Bhagwan Mahavir and alive still today in the hearts of Enlightened Souls.

We all struggle to find time for ourselves given the pressures of modern life. How can spirituality teach us to slow down amidst it all, and enjoy every moment? What if all the time could feel like “me-time” despite being with others.
In this practical talk by spiritual teachers Minalben and Lalitaben, we will explore how to stay connected to our true nature while mindfully playing our roles in society.
Our inspiring speakers have both led extremely busy lives themselves, and will share their personal experiences about how they have risen above the limitations of time.

રજીસ્ટ્રેશન ની જરૂર નથી. તમારા મિત્રો ને લાવશો।
તણાવયુક્ત આ આધુનિક જીવનમાં મોટા ભાગના મનુષ્યો પોતાના માટે સમય કાઢવો હોય તો સંઘર્ષ અનુભવે છે. પોતાની આંતરિક મનોદશા કે સ્વભાવ પ્રકૃતિ વિશે વિચાર સુધ્ધાં કરતા નથી. સવાલ એ છે કે આવી પરિસ્થિતિમાં જો આધ્યાત્મિક સમજણ લેવામાં આવે તો શું જીવનની દરેક ક્ષણને જાગૃતિપૂર્વક અને આનંદ સાથે જીવી શકાય? કોઈ પણ કાર્ય કરતાં વ્યવહાર અને વ્યવસાય મધ્યે શું હું સતત મારા અંતરાત્મા સાથે જોડાઈને રહી શકું ખરો?
પૂજ્ય મીનળબેન તથા પૂજ્ય લલિતાબેન અનુભવી માર્ગદર્શક છે. રોજિંદા જીવનમાં તેમનો પ્રયોગશીલ બોધ અપનાવીશું તો ઘણો લાભ થશે. જીવનમાં અપૂર્વ શાંતિ, અવિરત સમતા અને સ્થાઈ આનંદને પ્રાપ્ત કરી જીવનને ધન્ય બનાવી શકીશું.
વ્યસ્ત જીવન જીવતા, પોતાની જવાબદારીઓ નિભાવતા છતાં તેઓ બંને જલકમલવત રહીને ઉત્કૃષ્ટ આધ્યાત્મિક જીવન જીવવા માટે શું પ્રયત્નો કરી રહ્યાં છે તેની વાત તેઓ પોતાના જીવન અનુભવો અને પ્રસંગો દ્વારા કહેશે.
ખોવાઇ ગયેલા હું ને શોધવો હોય તો જરૂરથી પધારશો.

Amulya Tattva Vichar: A poem inspiring purpose and dedication.
For infinite time reality has eluded us. Lost in delusion we have aimlessly wandered from birth to birth…
Who am I? From where have I come? What is my true nature?
It is a rare encounter with Truth that wakes us from slumber and brings reality into acute attention. This electrifying jolt of realisation can energise us to realise the self - separate from the body and mind. Such a deeply peaceful consciousness, everlasting bliss and an unfathomable font of knowledge and awareness suddenly becomes attainable. It is not just a concept or theory, but an experience of the self that is within our grasp.
Let us reach out and utilise this wonderous opportunity.
Param Pujya Bhaishree, spiritual head of Shree Raj Saubhag Ashram, will share his insights on the path of self-realisation, illuminated by Bhagwan Mahavir and alive still today in the hearts of Enlightened Souls.

Here is a rare opportunity to dedicate five days to your spiritual well-being. This retreat will allow us to immerse ourselves in the exploration of timeless wisdom, highly applicable to our modern lives. The subject will be the text “Updesh Chhaaya” which means the shelter of wisdom. It explores how spiritual insights can provide relief and build our resilience in the face of the turmoil and sorrows of worldly life. This text is a collection of quotations from the self-realised saint and poet, Shrimad Rajchandra. We are blessed to have an living enlightened master, Bhaishree, head of the Raj Saubhag Ashram, gently and compassionately explain the meaning of the text to us, taking us to greater depths of understanding.
Shrimad Rajchandra was a modern man who lives mostly in Mumbai in the 1900s. His presence and teachings impacted our history significantly through his benign influence on Gandhiji and via his impact on Jain society and thought. His insights at informal gatherings were collected and published in this text that we will be studying at the retreat.
New Seekers Welcome
Those who are new to spirituality and those not yet instructed in meditation by Param Pujya Bhaishree, are very welcome. While meditation sessions take place, you will have the insightful and interactive sessions with two senior teachers at the Ashram, Minalben Shah and Vikrambhai Shah, several times a day for all five days. These will help you strengthen your spiritual foundations and explore, questions you may have.
This five day retreat will include several hours of swadhyay in which the text is explored and contemplated and meditation for those instructed by Param Pujya Bhaishree. A Jain vegetarian, vegan-friendly, lunch will provided.
