Welcome to the sixth year of JVBNA Gyanshala!

With the blessings of H.H. Acharyashri Mahaprajna and under the guidance of Samanijis, JVBNA Gyanshala for children opened its doors in the fall of 2004 and has been running successfully since then.  It is open to all children ages of 4 years and up, who want to learn Jainism, Science of Living (Prayer, Yoga, Meditation) and the Hindi Language.  Samanijis, volunteer teachers and guests teach classes. 

Through the instruction of Jainism and Science of Living, Gyanshala strives to impart to its students, life skills for physical, mental and emotional health, a stress free and peaceful life, and spiritual bliss.  It also strives to inculcate life values in children that help them grow into responsible adults – adults, who respect and care for their fellow living beings and the environment, who tolerate other religious beliefs and who have empathy for those who are less fortunate.
