Jai Jinendra:
We look forward to welcoming you during the Opening Ceremony of the new center on October 09th, 10th, and 11th at 14102 Schiller Road, Houston, TX-77082.
Schiller road is a very small road connecting to a high traffic Highway-6 with no traffic light. Highway-6 also has construction in progress at this intersection. At times it is hard to turn left into Schiller road from Highway-6. You could drive further down and make a U-turn under the West-park toll-way. While leaving the center, please do not try to make left turn into Hwy-6. Instead turn right and make a U-turn from down the road. In general please keep 30 additional minutes in hand to overcome traffic and parking bottlenecks. We are expecting >150 cars and >500 people.
Shalibhadra play is HOUSE FULL. Please register http://opening.jvbhouston.org/registration.php as soon as possible, so that accommodations could be made.
There are many sponsorship opportunities: 1. Building Project; 2. Poojas; 3. Tithis for important days. Shree Mahavir Swami Pratima Pratishtha is scheduled for Sunday 10/11th morning. For details on sponsoring and taking Laabh from Poojas please click on the following,
