Dr Samani Pratibha Pragya speaks at Hindu-Jain Assembly

Dr Samani Pratibha Pragya was initiated as a Samani (a Jain nun) by His Holiness Acharya Shri Tulsi in 1989 and completed her PhD on ‘Preksha Meditation: History and Methods’ from SOAS University. She is currently a Visiting Research Fellow at SOAS after being given special dispensation from higher priests to do so.

 

At the Jain Assembly, Dr Pratibha Pragya guided a peaceful sound and colour meditation for the students, the mindfulness experienced really helped the students relax. At present, Samani Pratibha is the Head of the Jain World Peace Centre in London and is an authorised Preksha yoga and meditation teacher.

During the assembly, she spoke on the core values of Jainism, including Ahimsa (non-violence), which is a fundamental tenet of this religion. She also spoke about her PhD and about Headmaster’s motto of ‘Seizing the Day’, encouraging the students to grab all the opportunities available to them. 

 

The School would like to thank the respected Samanis for coming to Habs for this very inspirational and uplifting talk which everyone thoroughly enjoyed.
