Swamiji has established the “Peace of Mind Foundation” in Rajkot, Gujarat and the “Peace of Mind Yogic Center” in USA. The center in Rajkot works to fight vices, educates students on creating a better lifestyle through yoga, and keeps the family united. By merging the ancient art of ayurveda and astrology with yoga, the center teaches students to obtain inner peace.
Swamiji leads several camps on various topics. The focus of his camps has been the theory and practice for a balanced and healthy lifestyle for young adults.Swamiji’s teachings integrate ancient scriptures and modern science which validate our day to day experience and knowledge. He has arranged several camps in NJ USA @ Sidhdhachalam Jain Tirth and Naval Veerayatan in Pune-Nasik since 2005. Attendees of these camps have not only enjoyed these camps, but have transformed their lives as a result of these camps.
Comments from attendees of Swamiji’s camps:
Shrutpragyaji Swamiji is one of the most articulate and charismatic young spiritual leaders of the new generation.Swamiji is very effective in communicating philosophical and dry subjects as Yoga and Pranayam in an interesting, penetrating and enjoyable style. I came away from his shibir with a greater sense of peace and balance, as well as happier and more relaxed.
His skills in keeping the group engaged at all times are really special and they sets him apart from many of the similar seminars. This Shibir impressed us due to its unique, spiritual and holistic approach to peaceful and joyous living with a fit & healthy self.
Last night for about thirty local Indians and Non-Indians, Swamiji presented a lecture that was easy to understand and very practical. His lectures are not all Jain or religious oriented, actually he hardly brought the Jain religion into his lecture and mostly focused on science and yoga and pranayam (breathing exercises). And he doesn't want to convert you into believing Jain philosophy, but to adopt a philosophy that will only add to your life and not take away from it. And to top it off, he's funny! He held my attention for 2 hours without looking at my watch even once. I can't remember the last time that happened. I know that you all lead very hectic and busy lives, but if you have the weekend to spare and want to just get away and learn something that will enrich your life, I highly recommend going to one of his camps he is holding at Siddhachalam.
