Welcome to the JVB New Jersey Gyanshala!

With the blessings of H.H. Acharyashri Mahapragya and under the guidance of Samanijis, JVB NJ 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, and Meditation) and the Hindi / Gujarati 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 respect other religious beliefs and have empathy for those who are less fortunate.

**A separate interactive teenage Gyanshala is also offered along with a community service component, in addition to regular Gyanshala.  For more information on this, please contact the JVB NJ center directly.**
