One evening, a group of young people gathers before a Sadhvi in a Jain Sthanak. Their questions are simple, though difficult to answer: how to live well, how to deal with anger and attachment, how to make sense of suffering, how to stay honest in the middle of ordinary life.
What follows is a series of conversations in which the teachings of the Tirthankars are slowly understood in today s context. Ahimsa, karma, aparigraha, dhyana, kaivalya, and the householder s path are seen afresh as part of everyday life.
In The Heart of Jainism, Daaji brings Jain wisdom into everyday life through stories, conversations, and reflections.
Daaji, also known as Kamlesh D. Patel, is the fourth and current spiritual guide of the global Heartfulness movement. He has spent the past four decades training people across the world in Heartfulness meditation.
Daaji is the author of the bestsellers The Heartfulness Way (with Joshua Pollock) and Designing Destiny. His work has appeared in the Times of India, Economic Times, Hindustan Times and on leading television networks. Daaji gives keynote addresses at conferences and conducts workshops around the world. His passion lies in grassroots efforts, especially in taking meditation to the villages of India. Daaji enjoys going on nature walks with his grandchildren in Kanha Shanti Vanam, India, where he lives with his family.
