Are you Jain Enough? | Monica Shah Jain Lifestyle | HS Did you ever think about what makes you Jain? Is it because you're born Jain, because your family practices certain Jain rituals? What type of Jain will you be when you're an adult living by your own rules? Will you be Jain enough? In this session, discuss your views on what it means to be Jain and if your thoughts align with what our Jain scholars say as well.
Art of Eating Samani Shreenidhi, Samani Shruthnidhi Jain Education | HS/College/JNF Food is the most essential requirement for a living being. Nobody can live for a long time without eating. Both animals and humans eat food, but only a human has the discriminatory power to know what to eat & what not to eat. The true art of eating quoted in Jain scripture can be developed easily. This presentation will compel one to think the true essence of eating-live to eat or eat to live? Why to eat? How to eat? How much to eat? When to eat? What to eat?
