The material posted here under the title "Jain Siddhant Parichay" is a compilation of Shri Bharatbhai J. Shah and was distributed during one of his several workshops on Jainism.
Shri Bharatbhai is a resident of Navrangpura, Amdavad (Gujarat, India). He has been serving as the President of Navrangpura Upashray for decades. For the past 15 years or more he has devoted his entire life towards spreading the message of Jainism in Amdavad and beyond. While he may be "retired" person, the amount of time he puts in towards fulfillment of his mission defies the definition of retirement. His day begins around 7 am at the Upashray and he leaves Upashray just before Sunset. And this schedule is maintained 365 days of the year.
He is perhaps one of the most, if not the most, well-known Jain personality in the entire Jain community. He has this unparalleled reputation because he preaches Jainism by living Jainism. He walks the walk! A lot can be learnt about Jainism simply by watching Bharatbhai. Jainism shines in every aspect of Bharatbhai's life. Be it at the Upashray, be it at his home with his family or be it while he is engaged in worldly matters. Bharatbhai is an embodiment of Jainism being woven in to every aspect of life.
A brief biography on Shri Bharatbhai is available on www.aadarshamdavad.org
