Dear Sadharmiks,
Jai Jinendra! Pranam!
I am thrilled to bring you some exciting updates and upcoming events from JAINA that highlight our community's remarkable efforts and achievements.
JAINA is organizing an Anumodana Sanji to celebrate and recognize the Tapasvis who observed Tap during Paryushan and Das Laxana Parva. This event is scheduled for 14th October, during which we will announce the names of the Tapasvis. It's a significant occasion to honor their dedication and spiritual accomplishments collectively. If any Tapasvi has still not submitted his name, please do so by 11th October to anumodna@jaina.org. Find more details about Sanji in the flyer below.
Join us on 28th October at 4 pm EST for an enlightening meeting the JAINA Women’s Committee arranged. The discussion will focus on the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education and will be led by Dr. Yogita Shah, a NASA scientist who played a pivotal role as a lead engineer in Mars Mission 2020. Further details are provided below.
The JAINA Education Committee presents the "Jain Book Recycle" project in line with the Jain principle of respectfully retiring unused literature. We encourage you to send your unused Jain books to the address provided for responsible redistribution to those in need. All project details, shipping guidelines, and procedures can be found below, and your contribution is immensely valuable in preserving our Jain heritage.
We are proud to share the incredible story of Hraday Shah, the son of JCNJ President Mihir Shah, who successfully convinced the prestigious Georgia Tech University to officially include Jain Diet as an option on their housing and meal applications. Hraday's persistence in advocating for Jain dietary choices raised awareness and led to a substantial demand among students. As a result, Georgia Tech has established a dedicated Jain Food station on campus. Read the full story of this inspiring journey below.
With the blessings of Pujya Gurudev Shree Manak Muni Ji Maharaj, a new Maha Shakti Mandir is being constructed in Bhiwani, Haryana, located approximately 100 km from Delhi. This temple is being developed within an existing campus of a Jain Muni Ashram, which also supports activities related to healthcare and education. For those interested in contributing to more details of this holy project, please find detailed information below and contact Renu Jain.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Haresh Shah,
JAINA President
