STUDENT'S CORNER
I remember this one session last year most distinctly- I and several attendees were all in tears. It was a session on parents. Each one of us fight with our parents on small matters, on a daily basis, and pay little attention to the impact this has on their lives, the sacrifices that they have made just so that we enjoy our lives. Guruji made us realize this, and that realization has made all the difference to my behavior ever since. To call it a turning point in my life would not be wrong.
Through all the PYS sessions, I have learnt many things about being humane, but most importantly I have discovered two key things1. I found a "guruji", it is difficult for the youth of today to find one that truly gets them, But, guruji does. He does not disregard our opinion but respects it, and he doesn't preach but shares knowledge and logically explains what it means to be a good human. And this is why he makes an Ideal.
2. I realized how much self-resistance I really possess. I used to be easily influenced by my peers, but through the influence of these sessions I have developed an ability to say no. I look for happiness within me rather than aspire to fit in or hope to be cool. And that has made all the difference to my life.
The impact of PYS is visible not only on my life but on my family's and friends' lives, and I know that this multiplier effect will only get stronger with each new session!

1. Youth of every generation needs an ideal person whose values he can imbibe. Panyas Gurudev Uday Vallabh ji M.S. is an ideal inspiration person for the Jain youth. Perfecting Youth Session ("PYS") is the perfect platform for the Jain youngsters to bring transformation in their lives and live life with religious and social values. 2. The life and ideals of Gurudev are the greatest inspiration for the youth of PYS. Gurudev possesses an incomparable speaking skills and dialogue delivery, excellent command over Gujarati, Hindi and English with clear and in-depth knowledge and perceptive understanding of religious and spiritual ideas, concepts, and
issues.
3. The writings of Gurudev can ignite the minds of the youth. Gurudev is like a candle whose flame is eternal. He is in true sense our Kalyan Mitra because he always cares for youth.
4. PYS has helped the youth, from time to time, to select the purpose of life, provided required self-confidence, motivation, encouragement, and taught true values. 5. The aim of PYS for the youth is to attain the pinnacle of success in their respective careers with utmost dedication. Gurudev has always focused that pursuing a challenge with sheer commitment and dedication is indeed a road to success. 6. Its endeavor is to arm our youth with the relevant knowledge and skill that will help them to convert their mammoth potential to desired results. It is indeed high time that we resolve to follow these ideals and take the youth to greater heights.
