Share Medicare Knowledge
with your fellow JSMW Members - Call For Speakers
Pranam JSMW Members!
The Pathshala Speakers Team is looking for help to present at a Pathshala Speaker Series talk on Medicare. This would include topics such as explaining the enrollment process, lessons learned and other useful information, especially relevant during Open Enrollment Period of October 15 - December 7 set by govt.
We are planning a October 29 session during Pathshala, and would ideally have several speakers to speak to different aspects/components, and targeted towards the Pathshala Parents, as some of them have older parents who are or may soon navigate the Medicare process.
If you are knowledgeable about this topic and are willing to do an informational session for our group please reach out to the
Speaker Series Team on

Monthly Snatra Pooja
Sunday, October 8th - 10:30 AM
Jain Center
Snatra pooja is done every 2nd Sunday of the month starting at
10.30 am followed by a potluck lunch.
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
