2:30 to 3:30 PM
In the Jainism world of the most benevolent Lord Mahavir, the reverend Gautam Swami Maharaja in his religious discourse says that we must give up five types of lethargies (PRAMADS) during our precious human birth which is most difficult to get. We must observe true and pure religion. There are four types of religion namely charity, right conduct, penance and devotion. Of these four, devotional worship is the best form of religion. Devotional worship reaches to its pinnacle when the mind is pure. For purity of the mind, it must be stable and steady. Religious rites are absolutely essential to make our mind steady. And NavPad is the best religious rite of all.

For implementing democracy in a global periphery to the science of industry and management in the contemporary world the inherent vivacity of Jaina philosophy can never be voidable. One will have to deject humanity itself, if one wants to thwart Jainism and its perpetual and immanent essence in the contemporary world. The path of global brotherhood above all trifling debates can be eminently served by the universal teaching of the Jinas. Jainism has immortalize the momentary existence. Oh mundane entities by emphasizing on karma and deed. Being a primeval and primordial concept in itself, today's human body mind and psyche needs to revitalize itself by the sheer power and benevolence of this way of life-and irrevocable conceptuality reverberating through the very veins of our universe.
