been traveling abroad for a number of years. They are from Jain Vishva Bharati Institute (a Jain university) of Ladnun, Rajasthan, India. They have visited more than 40 countries in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa. They have delivered interactive sessions at many colleges including Boston University and the University of California at Berkeley. They have also graced the UNO, UNESCO and other NGO's as well.
Saman Shrutipragyaji and Saman Sthitpragyaji are also involved with a research program for natural remedies. This research involves terminally ill patients from the All India Institute of Medicine who are treated using herbal and natural therapies such as color therapy, acupuncture, acupressure, yoga, etc. They have an extensive knowledge of the relationship between physiology and physical well-being. The Samanjis lecture widely on the benefits and practice of Preksha meditation, a systematic and biologically based process which is a development of Jain philosophy. Last year the Samanjis gave a week-long series of lectures to students and faculty at Israel's Ben Gurion University. Accounts of that visit and the impact they had on the Isrealis may be found at http://econ.bqu.ac.il/facultym/bradley/samans.html
