DIKSHARTHI BAHUMAN MESSAGE
Pranam!
Last Sunday, JSGD Sangh had the honor to witness a once-in-a-lifetime, historical event in our own temple. Diksharthis Tanyaben and Karanbhai, born and brought up in our Sangh, graced us with their presence during the Diksharthi Bahuman Ceremony on Sunday, October 29th. Not only was the Sangh present, but members from various Sanghs around the country also came to do Darshan of the Mumukshus. If you were unable to attend in person, the following is the link to the recorded livestream. Timings of the various events are provided as well.

Khub Khub Anumodana to all the organizer and volunteers who made this a grand and memorable event!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We also received the following message from Vinitbhai and Leenaben, the parents of the Diksharthis: "We were really privileged to have visited JSGD again after a gap of eight years. We are truly overwhelmed with the love and affection showered upon us during our brief stay of 4 days and the most wonderful event at the temple on Sunday. We will be ever grateful to this wonderful society that has helped pave a very bright path for our kids through the majestic temple, immaculate Pathashala and everything else one needs under a single roof that can propel a soul towards the path of liberation. We were very touched with the hearty involvement of everyone who graced the event and has left us teary eyed. We will cherish the moments we have had and as soon as we land in India we would narrate everything in detail to Pujya Gurudev and all the Jain Sanghs we would be visiting between now and the Diksha date. We couldn't announce during the event about Varshidaan items, and just wanted to share that the vasakshep and raksha potli distributed have been sanctified (abhimantrit) by Gurudev Acharya Bhagwant Shri RatnaSunder Surishwarji M.S. as part of Suri mantra sadhana. We hope these sacred items will aid us all and provide acceleration as we continue our spiritual journey. On behalf of our entire family, we again invite you all to grace the Diksha mahotsav in Dhule, Maharashtra from Jan 22 to Jan 24, 2024. Kindly reach out via WhatsApp message to +918980027249 (Vinit Shah) if you plan to attend the Diksha mahotsav so that we can take care of your accommodation. Thanks again and please continue to bless us and remember us as part of JSGD family!"
