Arhad Abhishekh Mahapujan
Jain Temple Pratistha 30th Anniversary
Sunday, August 11 - 12:30 to 4 P.M.
Main Hall, Jain Center



Dear Members of the Jain Sangh,
 
We would like to introduce you to Arhad Abhishekh Mahapujan.
 
One thousand years ago, one of the most revered, knowledgeable Siddhapurush Jainacharya Shree Vaadivetaal Shaanti Suriji mahara saheb developed “Shree Arhad Abhisekh Vidhi” granth on the basis of the old scriptures.
 
This Mahapujan of the great Tirthankar is very powerful in summoning good karmas for our Ayushya and Yashnam karma.  This pujan becomes the reason for us to become victorious, gather wealth and content in life.  It also becomes the reason which leads us to have deep faith and achieve Samyakatva in our life. 
 
At the end of the pujan, a special kriya is done to calm the negative effects of the planets and to help strengthen the planet’s positive effects in our life.  In short, this maha pujan is not only great to help us achieve Samyakatva and Moksha, but it is also great for helping us achieve wealth, health and peace in the greatest way in this life.   

We are also celebrating 30th anniversary of our Jain Temple, so please join the bhakti.

We are looking for volunteers to plan this Mahotsav in following areas – Food, Parking, Decorations, Pujans 

Swamivatsalya Dinner is sponsored by
Shilpaben Ajitbhai Shah
