A Satpath initiative

Satpath Pathshala

Moral and spiritual education alongside school studies — every Sunday, for every age group, completely free.

Why Satpath Pathshala?

Dear Sadharmi,

Dazzled by materialism, the new generation is drifting away from moral and spiritual values — and we are responsible for it.

Our temples, once centres of learning, have become places of display, while sect, community and caste keep widening the distance between us. And we are far more eager and committed to school education and hobby classes than to moral and spiritual values — the consequences are already before us.

Even so-called civilised society is caught in harmful customs and addictions. Eating at night and eating forbidden foods are spreading, hotel culture dominates, drinking is becoming fashionable… libraries are empty and young people are missing from our temples. In such times the pathshala matters more than ever. The heritage of values that has reached us over thousands of years — it is our duty to hand it on to the next generation.

Our aim: every child receives moral and spiritual education alongside school education — to live with self-respect, progress towards self-welfare, and become an inspiration to others.

Questions & answers

About the workshop (pathshala) held by Satpath at Veer Vatika

Which age group is it for?

For all ages. Separate classes are held for different groups.

When does it run?

Every Sunday from July to January (February–March is exam time), plus camps in April–May — so almost the whole year.

Is there a fee?

No, it is completely free.

Is transport provided?

Yes, transport is arranged for all registered children.

If it is free, how are transport, snacks, kits and prizes funded?

Jinshasan will continue until the end of this era, so donors always come forward. Seeing good work, people give without being asked.

Then everyone will come — won’t you run out of space?

Not everyone has the good fortune to study Jain philosophy deeply. Families spend lakhs on schooling but hesitate over spiritual education; many who worry that children lack values still don’t come or send them. Our request: come, and send your children.

Doesn’t that trouble you?

No — how can there be unrest on the path of the Vitrag? There is only joy. We do this out of love for dharma, knowing that nothing happens by our doing alone; all unfolds as it is destined.
