Jai Jinendra,

As you may be aware that Teen Interfaith Council is a part of Silicon Valley Interreligious Council (SIVIC). Every year, it organized A TRIP TO Arizona for a week for teens to immerse in interfaith activities.

Due to COVID-19, this year they have created a virtual trip in August (free of cost) so many more can take part.

Attached is their flyer. We encourage as many as possible high school students to register and participate in the virtual trip experience at no cost and take dharm labh. Please ignore the July 20 deadline, they are still accepting the registration.

Saturday, August 1st, 2020,

Time : 1:30pm-5:00pm

Every year during Adhar Abhishek the Sangh allows members to bring their own Pratimaji for Adhar Abhishek at the temple. Due to COVID-19 instead of being at the temple we would like the entire sangh to join remotely & participate.

For the members who want to perform the Adhar Abhishek of their Pratimaji’s at their home please SIGN UP HERE

JCNC will provide you the Adhar Abhishek kit.

Adhar Abhishek Kit :

Here’s all what will be included in the kit

18 different Abhishek water
Kesar/Vaskep
3 Angluchana
Kusumanjali
Kalash (Only if needed, please request via sign-up sheet).

For the Kusumanjali - JCNC encourages you to get the flowers, but if you cannot arrange to get flowers, we will provide kusumanjali. You will need 20 flowers for kusumanjali per Pratimaji.

Kit Distribution Plan and Sign Up Instructions:

Kit will be distributed on Saturday, Aug 1st, morning
Pickup time will be between 10:30 am to 12:30 pm.
We will have 6 pickup locations around the bay area (Milpitas, Fremont, San Jose (N), Sunnyvale, Pleasanton, Cupertino).
More details on final pick location will be shared via email on Thursday,30th July.
Let us know your preferred pickup location
Whether you require Kalash. Kalash needs to be returned back to JCNC within 1 week after the event.

This is the first time we are executing this idea so please corporate if there are minor challenges. We are trying our best so that all the members perform Adhar Abhishek on their own Pratimaji as they have been doing each year.

Sad News of an Icon of Humbleness Panditvarya Shree Dhirajlal Mehta!

JCNC PR

#66

Jai Jinendra,

The global Jain community is deeply saddened by the sudden demise of Panditvarya Shree Dhirajlal D. Mehta, 86 years, who passed away on Friday, July 10, 2020 at 9:30 am at his residence at Surat, India .

He is survived by his family of many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Pandit Dhirajlal Mehta was an eminent scholar of Jainism from Surat, India. He joined Shri Yashovijayji Jain Sanskrit Pathshala in Mahesana, Gujarat when he was thirteen years old. There he studied Jain scriptures for eight years.

Panditji, a student and later a teacher of the famous Jain School of Mahesana taught Jain Religion & Granth to many Shravaks and Shravikas, Sadhus & Sadhviji. Panditji was also an accomplished writer who wrote almost a dozen books on various subjects in very simple and easy to understand language.

He visited JCNC during 1994 and stayed for one month and conducted Swaadhyays at the residences of community members, During 2004, he did Paryushan Parva at JCNC.

Let us all collectively pray to Jineshwar Prabhu for a peaceful liberation
of the departed soul.

ભગવાન તેમના દિવ્ય આત્માને શાંતિ અર્પે. ૐ શાંતિ શાંતિ શાંતિ

|| Om Shanti Shanti, Shanti ||
