JSMW New Temple

Donation in Rupees

 

Currently, we are running short on funds in Rupees in India for paying to the marble and other contractors. 

 

Members are requested to offer help by sending their donation in Rupees.

Donation of Rs. 2 lakhs or more can be paid in India and the corresponding amount in dollars calculated @ Rs. 80 per US Dollar will be credited to your General Fund account (e.g., for a donation of Rs. 4 lakhs, $5000 will be credited).

 

The funds credited in the General fund account can be used for taking any Labh/Gheeboli for the New Jain Center Project.

 

Please note that for donations made in Rupees,

NO CHARITY DONATION RECEIPT can be given for claiming charity donation on tax return to IRS. If you are taking standard deduction (and not itemizing deductions) on your tax return, you can offer this help with no monetary loss. 

 

If you are willing to help, please contact

Pragnesh Shah at  301-305-4261 or by e-mail to newtemplefinance@jainsocietydc.org.

Please contact Vaishali Chheda vaishali.chheda@gmail.com for any questions
  • Snatra pooja illustrates the celebration of two of the auspicious (out of five) events (Kalyanaks) occurring in the last life of Tirthankar Bhagwan.
  • This Puja and celebration is for all Tirthankaras and not specific to any particular one.
  • Two Kalyanaks narrated in this Puja are Chyavan (conception) and Janma (birth) of Tirthankar. After this life the soul of Tirthankar reaches its climax and achieves liberation from life and death cycle (attains Moksha).
  • This Puja recital explains the effect of Bhagawan’s birth on the whole universe, narrates how glorious the occasion was and how much joys were shared by all the living souls including all heavenly souls.
  • Puja in the end includes Ashta Prakari Puja and wishes Shanti (peace) for all living beings and rejoices the event by performing Aarti, Mangal Divo, Shanti Kalash and Chaitya Vandan.
 Ghee boli for Aarti and Mangal Divo and Shanti Kalash. 
However, If we have sponsors for the Poojathen Shanti Kalash Labh is given to sponsor family. Ghee boli is still done for Aarti Mangal Divo
