TIME FLIES I have no time to stand and stare.
Lots to do, lots to share It's the third Sunday of the month,
Time for Jain Meeting. ..... Oh! What a fun! We need to hurry! Let's be on time,
like the Fofarias, just once! ..... Oh! What a delight! Time flies, seasons change, trends pass;
Jain members remain steadfast!
Our Sunday sermons with the Shahs
are an hour long..... or ..... as long as it takes. We listen, we discuss as we interpret
the whys and hows of Lord Mahavir's knowledge. Pravinbhai tries. Oh! My! Does he try
to satisfy our quest for knowledge. Time flies, seasons change, trends pass;
Jain members remain steadfast!
From soul searching to soul satisfying
our journey, we begin. Rituals, singing, and dancing we start
and year after year there is no stop. Events like Mahavir Jayanti, Paryushan
and Banker's Campsite keep coming. Varias' cameras capture everything ALL-RIGHT! Time flies, seasons change, trends pass;
Jain members remain steadfast!
Activities, such as scholars' visitations,
are Arvindbhai's and Madhukerbhai's pet projects. They bring some missionary spirit to our hearts
with Veerayatan and other humanitarian services. From far and near, the Zotas and Jains
are always here to emphasize
Swadhyayas, meditations and reading of scriptures. Time flies, seasons change, trends pass;
Jain members remain steadfast.
Our Naliniben and Jagdishbhai
Ceaselessly try to guide as in our spiritual yatra To find eternal peace and liberation
from the bondage of Karma. Time flies. There is a change. In this flight of time,
We share ..... a chance to touch,
.....a chance to feel, ..... a chance to grow
within the Jain Study Center of Raleigh. WHAT A GREAT PLACE TO BE!
