The concept of Gyanshala was pioneered under the auspices of Acharya Tulsi and was developed fully by Acharya Mahapragya ji and Acharya Mahashraman ji. In their words: \u201cGyanshala is like a weapon that
defends against evil, as it shields morality and establishes the kingdom of virtuous ideals\u201d.
Gyanshala program is conducted under the guidance of Samani Jis\u2019. It is a 12-year program that matches the regular school both in terms of duration and the academic calendar. It is divided in four stages. Each
stage is of three years\u2019 duration. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Gyanshala books were recently revised by Samani Neeti Pragya ji under the guidance of Samani Malaya\u00a0Pragya ji, with the help of some shravikas in JVB\u2019s New Jersey center. We offer a sense of deep gratitude\u00a0to them for their vision and immense efforts in doing this noble work. The textbooks are a compilation\u00a0of Jain tattva concepts and their applications in daily life. The material for the books has been sourced\u00a0from Jain Agamas, various published and online sources authored by Jain Acharyas and Jain scholars and\u00a0has been adapted to fit the needs of the Gyanshala curriculum.<\/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":"
