We regretfully must cancel the blood draw portion of the JSMW 2023 Health Fair on 5/14 due to a lack of phlebotomists (those that draw blood) and supplies.

This puja honors the Dev, Shastra, and Guru.
– Dev means God or Arihant or Siddha
– Shastra means Scriptures
– Guru means Teachers or one who possesses “real knowledge.”

By honoring Dev, Shastra, and Guru, we draw attention to these three entities as a means for our path to liberation.
