30th Anniversary Celebrations Of Jinalaya - May 18 - 20, 2018

We worship Supreme Soul (Tirthankara) by respectfully remembering and muttering His name,

Worshiping by usage we superimpose the real thing of His image by a statue, a photograph, or a picture.

Worshiping Him by devotedly serving the spiritual teacher in potentia.

In this way, Nam Nikshepa, Sthäpanä Nikshepa, and Dravya Nikshepa lead to Bhäva Nikshepa.

The Tirthankara now is known by four different ways: • Name (Nam). • Symbol (Sthapana). • Potentiality (Dravaya). • Actuality (Bhav).

Nam Nikshepa: In this category, the name is given to The Tirthankara:

This 30th Anniversary, representing 30 years of Kevala Jnana (omniscience) Kalyanak of our Mulnayak Shri Mahavirswami and

30years of Pratistha of all Tirthankaras by Sthapana Nikshepa.

JCSC will be celebrating with Pratistha Of All Tirthankara By Nam Nikshepa, meaning by the installation of Marble Taktis with name and Stuti(Sutra).
