I enjoyed it not only as Seva to our membership but also an opportunity to meet and talk to many Society members of all ages. Most members congratulated us in staying united as one Jain Center. Some of you provided process improvement ideas that I would like to share with the membership. • During the lectures or Jain discourse, provide volunteers to look after kids of all ages. Thereby maintaining a spiritual environment conducive to learning. • Start ‘Bhakti’ with a good music, half an hour prior to the lecture. This practice can facilitate positive vibrations among audience in preparation for the lecture. And more importantly provide half-hour cushion for people who may be few minutes late.
