Kenya Dharmayatra 2022 View Photos Pujya Gurudevshri arrived in Kenya’s capital city Nairobi where Kirit-Mita Sanghrajka, Yatin-Falguni Shah and Bharat-Asha Parekh were His privileged hosts. In the four-day Dharmayatra, Pujya Gurudevshri revealed the roadmap of spiritual progress for the devotees. Through two discourses at the Oshwal Centre Auditorium, the Master equated the human birth to a wish-fulfilling jewel and explained how it should not be wasted in mundane pursuits but should be utilised to manufacture eternal joy by realising the true Self. Sending seekers into a state of divine delight, Pujya Gurudevshri sanctified several homes with padhramanis. Yatin-Falguni Shah and Bharat-Asha Parekh cemented the Lord in their hearts through blissful pratishthas. Joyousness flowed in the form of nrutyabhakti after the pratishthas. Shree Sthanakvasi Jain Sangh (SSJS) was established in Kenya in 1927. The main objective of the organisation was to practice and promote religious activities and also to create a social forum for the Jain community there. The Master inaugurated Shrimad Rajchandra Jain Upashray at the Jain Bhavan made by SSJS. Amid great jubilation Pujya Gurudevshri unveiled the name plaque, while Param Krupalu Dev’s beautiful composition ‘Bina Nayan Pavey Nahin’ filled the ambience as the Master entered the Upashray. Pujya Gurudevshri also inaugurated Shrimad Rajchandra Ayambil Shala and blessed the kitchen, where food will be prepared for those undertaking austerities. Pujya Gurudevshri even unveiled a plaque of the newly constructed boardroom, lobby and a water borehole at the Jain Bhavan. The Master visited an exhibition on Param Krupalu Dev’s pristine life. He elevated the assembly with an Udghosh. Pujya Gurudevshri graced Dr Rasik Kantaria Jalaram Medical Services, a charitable institution catering to medical needs of the less privileged, for the opening of Shrimad Rajchandra Love and Care Gastroenterology Clinic.
