A personality of an extremely simple nature, Nirmal Kumarji was an emblem of humanity. Nirmal Kumarji was Chairman and long time President of Digambar Jain Mahasabha as well as a leader serving on many boards, including Shri Digambar Jain Ayodhya Tirthkhestra Committee, Shri Digambar Jain Vaishali Tirthkhestra Committee, Shri Gopal Digambar Jain Siddhant Sanskrit University, Murena. As a leader, Nirmal Kumarji has been instrumental in providing new direction to Shri Digambar Jain Mahasabha by bringing together Digambar Jains across the nation. He has addresed many JAINA conventions and was scheduled to speak at our upcoming convention too. Let us pray for peace to his soul. The Jain world will miss him dearly.


Dear Sadharmik Brothers & Sisters,


Jai Jinendra,



We wish everyone a Sukh Shata during Chaitra Mah’s Sri Navpadji Oli Tapasya. .


As all of you are aware, COVID-19 has caused devastating effects all over the world especially in India during the second wave. With this message, we are reaching out to you for desperately needed help to support Sadharmik families in India. Many mid and low-income Jain families are going through severe hardships, but many are too proud to ask for help. Such circumstances have caused extenuating situations of suicides by entire families.


The JAINA Emergency India COVID Relief(Sadharmik Bhakti) Fund is hoping to raise as much donations as it can to support this situation in India and is looking forward to your generous contributions.


We intend to support 3,000 needy Sadharmik families for 4 months.

The total support per month will be $70.00 for each family. You may sponsor as many families as you wish.


Sadharmik Bhakti is one of our essential kartavya ( duty ) to help our Sadharmik Jain families during this unprecedented and difficult time. We urge every one of you to donate generously for this noble cause.


The Emergency India COVID Relief funds will support the needy Jain families qualified by our well-respected five NGO partners.

Listen to the video below from Param Pujya Acharya Bhagwant Shrimad Vijay Rajhans Surishwarji Maharaj.

Also listen from the below two NGOs, Shri Girishbhai of Samast Mahajan Trust, and from Jayeshbhai Shah of Jain Education & Empowerment Trust ( JEET ) who supplements approximately 25% of our funds with their own resources to increase the impact.
