Jai Jinendra! The weather is finally turning favorably in our direction. Remember, April Showers bring May Flowers. Here is a quick summary of the events after the last publication of Jainvani.
We changed our program from 24 to 12 Hour Navkar Jaap (2/26). More than 75 members attended the Jaap. It was a memorable experience to sing our Navkar Mantra with different Raags/Tunes. We estimate more than 10,000 Navkar recitals during that time frame.
Our annual Fund Raising Program (3/13) was attended by 270 members. We raised $75k in additional pledges. We would like to thank all the team members for conducting the great event. We thank all the members, donors, volunteers, and advertisers for their generous support. More financial details are provided in the later part of the Jainvani.
Ayambil Auri (3/22 to 3/30) was observed at temple. We have seen all time high - 55 Tapasvis - doing Auri (9-consecutive days of Ayambil). On average, we had almost 80 Ayambils done every day. It was followed by Parna(3/31) for all Auri Tapasvis.
We had served Bhathu during Navanu Prakari Puja (3/28) due to ongoing Ayambil Auri. We would like to thank all the sponsors for sponsoring the Puja.
Mahavir Janma Kalyanak’s auspicious event was celebrated at the temple on 4/11. The Program included Snatra Puja, an EC/BOT Presentation, Cleveland Sangh Message for their Temple Pratishtha, and a successful HTHY drive, which was followed by delicious Swamivatsalya Lunch. We would like to thank all the members who did RSVP for attending the event.
As announced during Mahavir Janma Kalyanak ceremony, our member Shri Rajnibhai and Jyotsnaben Shah has accepted the permanent position of Pujari. Please don’t forget to thank and congratulate them when you visit the temple next time. We would like to humbly request you to take a minute to study the Dress Code for the temple in the later part of the Jain Vani. It is our responsibility to preserve our culture and dignity of the temple. Again, our intent is not to offend anybody. With a popular demand, we are bringing JIVDAYA music concert (Saturday, 5/1) back

to the temple. Don’t miss it this time. We have the FATHER’S DAY PICNIC (Sunday, 6/20) but why nothing for mothers? Good point. For the first time in JSGD history, we will be bringing a MOTHER’S DAY GARBA (Saturday, 5/8). It is being organized by our JOY Team. All age groups are welcome to participate. There is no cost to attend this event. 2010 marks the 35th anniversary of the Jain Society. We will also be celebrating the Twelfth (12th) anniversary of our Temple. We are working on programs to celebrate both the events during the weekend of June 25-26-27. Shri Narendrabhai Nandu and his team will be with us, like all previous anniversary events, to perform the ceremonies. Are you missing out on urgent news, program updates and reminders in-between issues of the Jain Vani? Staying current is only a few clicks away. Please sign-up for the JSGD Official Email List via our website or contacting any EC or BOT member. Any announcement in-between the Jain Vani publications will be sent out via email to the members who have signed up for this distribution list!

BOT CORNER
Fund Raising Dinner: JSGD successfully executed our 17th Annual Fund Raising Dinner Event in March. The BOT thanks to the committee co-chairs - Nalin J. Shah and Arvind R. Shah and their Team for raising $75000 towards this year’s Temple operation. The next year’s Fund Raising Dinner Event is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, March 19, 2011. Echo Park School Property Decision: As announced in the Mahavir Janma-Kalyanak Program to all Members, the BOT has decided not to pursue the proposal of the Echo Park School Property in the best interest of our JSGD Organization. The BOT sincerely thanks the Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) Team for evaluating this proposal. Following were some of the factors reviewed by the BOT to arrive for this conclusion:
• Priority is to maintain and continue our Temple current and future operations. • Our temple is not fully utilized. There is room for growth for many new activities. • Evaluated Financial and Operational needs of acquiring and sustaining of this property, along with
proposed projection of the fund raising by the LRPC Team. • Looked at suggested future use of this property. • Availability of this property with complete parking facility, next to our property. • A new parking lot – a possible low cost alternative at the Temple house property.
Temple Anniversary Program: We will celebrate our JSGD organization’s 35th anniversary, along with our Temple’s 12th anniversary during week-end of June 25-26-27. Shri Narendrabhai Nandu is invited to perform all ceremonies and Pujas with us. All members are encouraged to join all those once-a-year type programs. Member’s Financial Statement: Please look at your last statement. We request you to pay any outstanding balance in a timely manner. Please call Nikhil Kothari (BOT) or Jaimik Shah (EC) for any question that you may have about your statement. Pratishtha Donors Name Plate: Two name plates, recognizing the Donor names for both pratishtha events, are displayed in the Lobby. Please verify your names during next two weeks. If you find any error, please provide your information to any BOT or EC member, no later than May 31. We plan to correct them before the Anniversary program. Automatic Front Gate: The electrically operated front gate is installed for our security.
• It is kept open during the temple operation time. • Please observe common safety practices when it is closed. • If you want to go out when it is closed, Please bring your vehicle slowly near the gate sensor, marked
by white lines and stop to activate it. • Nobody can get inside, when it is closed. Please do not try to push or force when it is closed, as it
damages the door. (It was broken twice due to unsafe practice). • Please call the Temple or any one of EC/BOT member, if you want access during off-hours, (e.g.
maintenance issue, etc). Planning and Voting of the new Parking Lot Proposal: BOT is investigating to add a new parking lot, behind Temple House (100+ spaces), with connection to the current parking lot. General Membership approval will be required as per our constitution, because its cost will be close to $200K. The BOT and the Constitution Committee will share all related information and the voting process with all of you in the coming months. Appeal to all members: The BOT welcomes your suggestions. So please share your thoughts to any one of us. At the same time, we also request you to join any subcommittee of your interest and share the joy of working together for our great Temple Organization.
