Mahavir Janma Jayanti 16th April 2011

by admin

2610 years ago, the last Tirthankar of our current cycle, Mahavir Bhagwan, was born. His teachings have been instrumental in propagating the knowledge of Jainism in our time and forthcoming times to come. This year, Mahavir Bhagwan’s Janma Jayanti falls on Saturday 16th April and the Mandal will join Jains all over the world in celebrating this auspicious day. This day also holds special relevance for us as it was also on this day in 1934 that Pujya Gurudev’s parivartan took place. The programme scheduled for the day is as follows:

Morning

08.15 – 09.15   Pujya Gurudev Kanji Swami’s CD Pravachan
09.15 – 11.00   Maha Mastak Abhisek including 61 inch Pratima of Mahavir Bhagwan, Jinendra Puja & Bhakti
11.00 – 11.30   Swadhyay

Please attend with the whole family and children especially!
Please also pass the message to fellow Jains and we hope all of you will attend with your families to celebrate this occasion. We look forward to seeing you on the day!

Swadhyay arrangements 15th Feb to 16th Mar 2011

by admin

Our regular morning timetable has one hour of Swadhyay from 10.30 – 11.30am delivered by our current resident lecturers Javubhai, Ramaben & Shitalbhai. From 15th February to 16th March however, our Mandir will not have the benefits of regular vaanchans from Javubhai and Ramaben and therefore we will instead have CD lectures by Pandit Sumati Prakashji. His clarity, mastery and delivery of Tatva is unique as anyone who has heard him will testify and this will surely be heightened in the ambience and atmosphere of our Mandir! Shitalbhai’s lectures on the first Sunday of the month will continue as normal.
