• Tulsa Jain Sangh (TJS)

I am living in USA since 1982. I am one of the founding members of Tulsa Jain Sangh (TJS) in 1990. I have been very active member and held positions of, pathshala teacher, treasurer and secretary of the TJS. I have volunteered JAINA in various conventions. I am a chair person of JAINA Jivdaya committee and involved very heavily in Jivdaya projects for last 20 years working under guidance of Late Gurudev Chitrabhanuji and Pramodaben. Since 2012, Jivdaya committee has been able to raise and send $20,000+ per year in India to build panjrapole shelters and provide fodders to animals, and supporting Animal shelters in USA.

I have passed five pathshala education standards (out of seven) in India as a child and was very much involved in Jain Sangh activities as my Grandfather was president of Gondal Sanghani Sangh for over 40+ years. Most of the time, I prefer to provide dedicated support behind the scene.

Professionally, I am a mechanical engineer with double master’s degree, have 30 patents, participated and presented in various ASME and SPE conferences, and am serving as technical editors for professional journals. I have attended Toastmasters club for 10+ years and learned a lot about cheer leading, thinking and speaking positively, and providing encouragements and help to new members. I believe in team work, compassion and in practicing Jainism with proper understanding. I like to involve everyone and to set up a role of mentoring for youth to promote Jainism.
