Mahesh Dhoundiyal – New Delhi
(Students learn Jain lifestyle in moral education camp) In the moral education camp of Shri Parshvanath Digambar Jain Temple, Bhelupur, under the initiative, full cooperation guidance, and training of Prof. Phoolchand Jain Premi, many Jain children learned the art of living life along with the values of Indian culture and to refine their lives and understand the basic principles of ancient Jain Shramana culture.
A six-day training was given to them to understand the world’s oldest Brahmi script and Dr. Munni Pushpa Jain also taught the world’s oldest Brahmi script. All the children took the exam and the five students who scored the highest marks, Bhumika Jain, Mayank Jain, Unnati Jain, Naman Jain, and Dhanvi Jain were awarded silver medals and all other children were awarded certificates.
All the scholars and scholars who taught were honored. On this occasion, the distinguished guests of the Jain community praised the knowledge gained by the students and expressed the desire to organize such beneficial camps regularly. This was the first such camp in Banaras in which many children were connected with the values of life. Looking at the success of this camp, Adi Prakash Jain feels that a CBSE Jain school should also be built in Banaras. Pramila Samaria, Asha Jain, Ruby Jain, Deepa Jain, Shaili Jain, Sarita Jain, and Dr. Indu Jain Rashtra Gaurav Jain who came from Delhi played an important role by becoming trainers in sowing the seeds of moral values in the inner minds of the children.
The President of the community Rishabhchand Jain and all the guests wished the children well. It is noteworthy that more than 80 Jain children wrote letters to the MP from Banaras and the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi to invite him to visit the Jain temples of Banaras, the birthplaces of the four Tirthankaras of Jainism, and to know about their contribution to Indian culture. The children also expressed their displeasure with the Hon’ble Prime Minister in their letter that he has been an MP from Banaras for so many years and has not visited the birthplaces of the Tirthankaras even once.
The children are confident that these letters will reach the Hon’ble Prime Minister and he will seek the blessings of Jinendra Prabhu by visiting the Jain temples of Banaras to fulfill the children’s wishes and will achieve their wishes by meeting the children.
