PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

Jai Jinendra!

So far it has been a very eventful year and we have planned many more events for rest of the year. In April, over 130 children and many adults participated in our Mahavir Janma Kalyanak stage program. It was a fantastic program, which included participation from our Pathshala and Sunday Pooja Group. You can see this program here at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbyLC1k79d8

In the first week of May, nearly 50 adults and youth volunteers from our Jain Society prepared a Jain meal for 4,000 homeless people. This has become an annual tradition for our Jain Society to sponsor this extraordinary event where we share our compassion through community service.

Over the summer, we have been graced by the presence of several scholars who have imparted their knowledge and helped perform several poojas. On May 11th, Samirbhai Shah (a well known Jain Scholar from India) performed a Bhaktamar Poojan for our Society and in June, Tarlaben Doshi visited our temple. During the later part of July, Nirmal Sagarji visited our Society and graced us with lectures and performed an Uvasaggharam Poojan.

On July 28th, more than 80 people took part in an all day education event on Logassa Sutra and Meditation Chakras with our very own Pravinbhai Dand.

During the July 4th holiday, nearly 4,000 people arrived in Detroit to attend the biennial JAINA convention, including many members from our Society. At the convention, members of our Sangh presented a very successful stage program called “Jains Around the World.” You can see a glimpse of this stage program at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj_agpBGCfM.

In August (22nd through 27th), we will have lectures, as well as Bhavna and Meditation/Youth camp with Sramani Shruthnidhi and Sramani Suyashnidhi. From September 2nd through 9th, we will celebrate Paryushan Parva with Jitendrabhai Shah. Das Lakshana will be celebrated from September 9th through 19th.

I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all volunteers, sponsors, and members of the Executive Committee for helping with all of these events. Every week we have a number of activities in our temple; please come forward and volunteer to help and organize these events. Let me or any other EC member know how you would like to get involved with any of these events/activities.

Please feel free to send me your comments/suggestions for improvements in our services to the community to [email protected].

Paresh Shah President, JSMW

NEW TEMPLE UPDATE

Land Progress

In response to our request, the Beltsville Civic Association and Prince George’s County Planning Board approved our request in May to cancel their future plan of building Pine Street between the two parcels of land (4231and 4241 Ammendale Road, Beltsville, Maryland) purchased by us for the new Jain Center, and give us the ownership of the strip of the land owned by the county for building the Pine Street. The County has complied with our request with a condition that we do not build any permanent structure on that strip of land. With the addition of that strip of land, the Jain Society now has 5.4 acres of land.

Next Steps

- Final Review of Request for Proposal (RFP) for General Architect and Sompura - Selection of Architect and Sompura - Conceptual and Detailed designs from Architect and Sompura - Approval of Design by Jain Society General Body and Prince Georges’ County - Selection of Contractor for construction of new Jain Center (planned for March 2015) - Construction of the new Jain Center

Need Your Support

We need support from all our members to achieve the goal of building a Shikharbandhi temple in Metro Washington DC. Please write to [email protected] informing us about how you can provide any type of help in this project in planning, fund-raising, architecture, getting permits, construction, etc. So far, we have received pledges from only 40 percent of our members. Our goal is to receive pledges from each and every member. All members who have not yet pledged are urged to come forward with their pledges and send their tax-exempt donations to the Treasurer of JSMW. If you have already made a pledge, we request you to send your 2013 tax-exempt donation at your earliest, and also consider raising your pledge amount.

JAINA UPDATE

JAINA Convention 2013 held in Detroit during July 4-7 was very successful and attended by over 3700 participants from all over the world.

The joyous and eventful seventeenth biennial JAINA (JAINA: Federation of JAIN Associations in North America) Convention celebrations concluded in Novi, a beautiful Northwest suburb of Detroit, Michigan, with huge success. The theme of the convention was JAINISM: THE GLOBAL IMPACT. Jainism has significant lasting effects on the global population in the areas of religion, commerce, education, culture, language, and cuisine.

The convention celebrations which took place over four days brought together a host of Jain religious leaders, scholars, followers and dignitaries who participated in a comprehensive series of events focusing on the theme: JAINISM: The Global Impact. The cumulative reach of these events is extensive, with more than eighty speakers and an audience of approximately three thousand five hundred attendees.

During the convention JAINA also launched the Upliftment program - Uplift a Jain child or family from poverty through education. Since its inception, JAINA has supported disaster relief projects around the globe. We now want to extend our services to a sustainable livelihood project. Under the JAINA Upliftment Program, poor Jain children and families in India will receive quality education (for children), higher or vocational training (for young adults), and skill enhancement vocational training (for heads of households) to increase their earning potential. This will result in sustainable livelihoods to liberate them from poverty.

$20 per month or $240 yearly will pay for a child's education

$50 a month or $600 yearly will assist a young adult with higher education
