The words Yoga and Meditation have entered mainstream now and while most people are familiar with these\u00a0words some practice them to varying degrees in their daily life. We must ask though whether it is possible to get a\u00a0meaningful impact from such activities without a proper understanding of their connection to and relationship\u00a0with spirituality. We are fortunate and privileged to have the presence of two Samani Ji\u2019s with us in the JVB\u00a0Houston Preksha Meditation center who are highly trained to explain that connection and teach us proper\u00a0techniques of yoga and meditation.\u00a0<\/p>

Samani Jis\u2019 are highly learned and experienced disciples of Parampujya Acharya Mahashraman ji, head of JVB\u00a0Terapanth Sangh in India. Considering that the practice of Preksha Meditation was introduced to the world by\u00a0Acharya Mahapragya ji (Guru of Mahashraman ji) under the guidance of Acharya Tulsi (Guru of Acharya\u00a0Mahapragya ji) following an extended period of research and practice, twenty plus years to be precise, all Samani\u00a0Ji\u2019s receive special training in Preksha Meditation, as a part of their formal education and training.\u00a0Samaniji\u2019s practice Ahinsa (Non-violence), Sayam (self-restraint), Anekant (revelation of truth), Brahmacharya\u00a0(celibacy), and other jain monk vows. They have a deep knowledge of the religious philosophy and are experts in\u00a0the practice of Preksha (yoga and meditation) and other natural therapies. Their familiarity with modern science,\u00a0Spiritual Guidance.\u00a0Spirituality & Jainism\u00a0physiology and human anatomy allows them to present a holistic view of how the regular practice of Preksha\u00a0<\/span>Meditation can lead to addressing serious illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, acid reflux etc.\u00a0<\/span>Periodically, Samani Jis\u2019 are invited by external organizations like Interfaith Ministry to either conduct a Preksha\u00a0<\/span>Meditation session or present Jainism\u2019s perspective on topics of general interest.\u00a0<\/span>Samani Jis\u2019 daily life provides an excellent example of how the principles of Jainism should be applied in our daily\u00a0<\/span>lives, and is our greatest strength to attract general public to the center.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
