Temple Anniversary

13th temple anniversary program was celebrated for 3 days with Vidhikaar Narenrabhai Nandu and his group. 13th temple anniversary (6/24-6/26) was celebrated for 3 days with Sh. Narendrabhai Nandu and his group. This year, we have been trying to start and end the programs on time. During this event also, we successfully started all the programs on time and ended on time. We appreciate your support in making it happen.

The event started with Snatra Puja and Navkaar Vandanavali on Friday morning followed by Shatrunjay Tirth Bhaav Yatra in the evening. The second day we had Eighteen Abhishek Puja with many members bringing their Bhagwan from home to perform Eighteen Abhishek. On Saturday evening, we had bhavana, raas garbha, dandiya and sanedo. It was a memorable experience for all members. Last day, we had Dhwaja ceremony for the temple and Bhumati area.

The temple was decorated with miniature Pavapuri temple and Ashtamangal by Niral Shah and well supported by Meghna Chauhan and other volunteers. We appreciate it. For all the 3 days we had delicious Swamivatsalya lunch. The Friday lunch was prepared by Pratiksha Shah, EC Food Coordinator and her team of volunteers. The 18 Abhishek Lunch was prepared by Bhavnaben Mehta, Pratimaben Shah, Purviben Shah and Shailaben Shah. The Sunday Dhwaja Ceremony lunch was prepared by BOT spouses and their team of volunteers. We enjoyed the excellent food on all 3 days and appreciate the help of all the volunteers.

For hosting the musicians, we would like to thank Shreyasbhai & Purviben Shah, who hosted for majority of the 2+ weeks period. The responsibility was also shared by Hemesh & Pratiksha Shah, Rajiv & Mamata Maheshwari, Anand & Mona Bora. We would like to thank Jayeshbhai & Bhavnaben Mehta for hosting Narendrabhai Nandu family. Overall, this was a great successful event. To view the pictures of the anniversary program, please visit the following links :

ESSENCE OF JAINISM

Hu jananar chu, hu karnar nathi.

Jananaro janay che, kharekhar par janatu nathi.

I am a knower, I am not a doer.

The knower is being known, in reality non-self is not known.

By Pujya Lalchandbhai Amarchandbhai Modi

Jai Jinendra! JOY is kicking off the summer with a great start! We have already had a few very fun and exciting events in the month of June. On June 17th, we started off our summer vacation by having a cleanup at the temple. We helped by removing the weeds and planting new flowers. We also helped clean the inside of the temple. Then, on June 23rd, we had a very fun-filled lock-in. The turnout was great and we had a good time bonding and playing games together! On the 25th and 26th of June, some JOY members helped manage the halls and distribute food to the members. Not only have we been having a good time helping the temple and being with other JOY members, we also plan to have a good time doing some community service! The following are tentative dates: July 23: World Medical Relief (Detroit) July 26: Summer in the City (Detroit) July 30: World Medical Relief (Detroit) Both of these events are to help the people of our community. At World Medical Relief, JOY members will go to their warehouse and help separate medical equipment. This equipment is then distributed to those in need. At Summer in the City, JOY members will go to Detroit and either paint the walls, plant gardens, or play with kids. For more information, please contact any JOY board member! We will send more notices out prior to these events. JOY is also helping the youth of Chicago promoting and fundraising for their Midwest Youth Convention (August 12-14). It is going to be a great event. There are going to be thoughtful Jain sessions and social events like garba also. For more information, please contact any JOY board member. New members are always welcome! And remember, always enJOY!

Anyone who is in Groups 6, 7 and 8 can join JOY. It is a great way to meet new friends and practice your religion. In JOY we do lots of fun and religious things. We have four main categories- Temple, Community Service, Fundraising and Social. Through all of these things, we enjoy ourselves and interact with other Jains. SO JOIN JOY! Meet other people who have something in common with you and make memories! It is truly a great experience, and we don’t want anyone to miss out on it, so if you are eligible, join!
