Siddhachalam is organizing a 2-day Arhum Youth Camp this Summer. This is a unique chance for Jain Youth, aged 9-15, to participate in a 2-day overnight camp. Campers will have the chance to learn many Jain principles and how they can apply those ideas in their everyday actions. The focus of the camp is on understanding Jain concepts and then applying them in our lives. In addition, there will be yoga, meditation, Jain kitchen, temple traditions, Shikharji trail walk, cultural events and so much more. All of the food served at camp is strictly vegetarian.
On popular demand, we have added one more Youth Camp and doubled the capacity so that more of your children can attend. Priority will be given to those children who are not registered for the other camp. Our goal is to provide the opportunity to as many children of all ages as possible.
Keshi said to Gautam: “Whom do you call foes?” Hearing these words of Keshi, Gautam replied: “O sage! The first foe is one’s unconquered soul. Add to this the four passions of anger, conceit, deceit and greed, and the five senses of touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. Vanquishing all these ten, I move about righteously.” Kumar-shraman Keshi said: “Gautam, you are endowed with excellent wisdom. You have removed my doubt…” Uttaradhyayana Sutra, 23:3- 39.
