Mahavir Janma Kalyanak
Wednesday 17th April 2019
2618 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 day also holds special relevance for us as it was also on this day in 1934 that Pujya Gurudev’s parivartan took place. The cultural team has planned an event prior on the preceding Sunday, as follows.
Sunday 14th April
08.15 – 09:15: Pujya Gurudev’s CD Pravachan
09.15 – 10.30: Jinendra Maha-Abhishek (boys over 8 years most welcome) & Mahavir Janma Kalyanak Pujan

2. Motivation/inclination towards Jainism
3. Inspiring incidents from their life
