JYOC Event
SkyZone, Columbia
Sunday, January 28th from 10 AM - 12 PM
 
Jai Jinendra Parents,

JYOC is planning to host a buddy event at the Skyzone in Columbia, MD on Sunday, January 28th from 10 AM - 12 PM. The event will be open to children aged 7+ (patshala classes B1 and above). If your children have not yet registered as JYOC members (ages 13+) or JYOC buddies (ages 7+), please have them register or register for them at the links provided below. If your child(ren) would like to attend the Skyzone event, please fill out the RSVP form below! 

Unfortunately, these events are slightly expensive. JYOC plans to jump for the first 90 minutes, after which we plan to host a short lunch for around 30 minutes. Depending on the RSVP information, we will subsidize tickets to around ~$10. Socks will be included in ticket fees, which come to around $28 without subsidy and $18 with subsidy. More information on pricing will be made available after the RSVP deadline, which will be 10 PM on Sunday, Jan 21.

If you are interested in volunteering, information for that will be made available alongside pricing after the RSVP deadline. For any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at this email, and we'll be happy to help!

Monthly Snatra Pooja
Sunday, Feb 11 - 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.
Sponsors are always welcome   
Ghee boli for Aarti, Mangal Divo and Shanti Kalash. 
However, If we have sponsors for the Pooja then 
Shanti Kalash Labh is given to sponsor family. 
Ghee boli is still done for Aarti & Mangal Divo
