Jain Teacher : Smt. Shweta Jajodia Youth Teacher: Reva Gandhi
Jainism is an ancient religion from India that teaches that the way to liberation and bliss is to live a life of harmlessness and renunciation.
The aim of Jain life is to achieve liberation of the soul. The three main principles of Jainism are Ahimsa (non-violence), Anekantavada (non-absolutism), and Aparigraha (non-possessiveness). The word "Jain" derives from the Sanskrit word Jina (conqueror).
A human being who has conquered all inner passions like attachment, desire, anger, pride, greed, etc. is called Jina. Followers of the path practiced and preached by the Jinas are known as Jains.

Jai Jinendra everybody! My name is Shweta Jajodia and I will be teaching the Jain Dharma class this year. I have been associated with Balvihar for the past few years and have enjoyed every bit of it. I love to volunteer my time and knowledge; it’s my way of giving back to the community. I am a practicing interior designer; it’s very fulfilling to help people design their dream spaces! Art, travel, cooking, photography make my life more enriching. If I have not met you already, I would love to! Hope to see more and more new faces at Balvihar this year.
