PanditJi Shri Champakbhai Mehta

 

JSMW welcomes PanditJi Shri Champakbhai Mehta, a scholar in Jain Philosophy from India, to deliver discourse lectures at the Jain Center. 

Champakbhai studied for 4.5 years at the Shrimad Yashovijayji Jain Sanskrit Pathshala in Mehsana, Gujarat. This pathshala is a foremost institution in imparting education in Jain Philosophy and rituals for the last 108 years, creating numerous scholars, many of whom later chose monkhood.

Champakbhai has been teaching Jain Philosophy, scriptures, and sutras in Pathshalas and Sanghs for the last 28 years. He is currently the Principal at Jawaharnagar Jain Sangh Pathshala in Mumbai, which has close to 700 students in attendance. Panditji has been teaching Sharaman Sharamani Bhagwats (Sadhus & Sadhvis) since 1979.
