Guruji's Shraddhanjali
Jai Jinendra,
Our Guruji left us for Heavenly abode on 13th Nov, 2021 at the age of 80 in Princeton, New Jersey. We would like pay our homage to his noble soul in form of Shraddhanjali prayer at the temple on Mar 26th, 2022 (Saturday) from 2:00pm – 4:00pm.
Program would begin with JSGD dedicating the temple library in the loving memory of our beloved Guruji. A plaque for this will be inaugurated in front of the library. The ribbon cutting for the same would be done by Rahul Shah (Guruji’s son) and his family. This will be followed by Shraddhanjali prayer in the basement hall.

Jain Education, Arhihant Academy
Arihanta Academy is an online educational institution democratizing Jain studies while purveying knowledge for a wholesome living in a highly accessible manner– www.arihanta-academy.com.
Jain philosophy and the wisdom of the arahant's that it embodies is not just theoretical. Rather, they offer practical applications for all aspects of life. The Jain tradition has always been at the forefront of promoting integrated and interdependent living, as expressed in the age-old precept of ParasparopagrahoJīvānām, meaning that all life is bound by mutual support and interdependence. These concepts have contributed to movements such as veganism, animal rights, social justice, and sustainability.
We are sharing a short 3-minute video that provides a glimpse into the importance of our undertaking at Arihanta Academy and visually presents why the ancient Jain wisdom is so relevant to contemporary living.

Ayambil Oli
Jai Jinendra,
“Ayambil Oli” will be conducted in the temple from April 8 to April 16, 2022.
Timing for the Ayambil Oli will be 12.15 pm to 2.15 pm.
Ayambil Parna will be on April 17, 2022
If you wish to do Ayambil please write your name on the sheets provided on the bulletin board in the temple or call Gitaben @ 734-507-9702 or Tarulataben @ 734-674-7109, at least two days in advance. This is very important as it will help volunteers prepare the food accordingly. Whoever wants to do Ayambil is requested to bring their own thali, vatko, glass, spoon and napkin to help volunteers reduce their amount of work.
Members who are working and cannot come to the temple for Ayambil oli, but wish to do Ayambil at home can have a family member take tiffin from the temple during the Ayambil oli hours.
We will also need volunteers to serve the food. Please write your names on the volunteer signup sheet in the temple or coordinate with Gitaben @ 734-507-9702
If you want to sponsor Ayambil oli (Nakro is $251), please write your name on sign up sheet posted on bulletin board or please contact, Vinay Shah at (248)-579-6553 or send an email to .
