President's Welcome Message
Jai Jinendra.
Wish you all a Happy Diwali & Prosperous New Year.
We are proud to share that the Jain Society of Metropolitan Washington and JAINA (Federation of Jain Associations of North America) were invited to the Diwali celebrations at the white house with President Barrack Obama, who personally joined in for the celebration. With grace and bowed head, President Obama greeted everyone and lit the Diya, much like he lights the White House Christmas tree.
Along with our many other programs at the Jain Society, Paryushan and Das Lakshan Parva was celebrated with tremendous joy and devotion. Thanks to Bhadrabahu Vijayji for his excellent Pravachans. We had 17 Atthaies (8 Days Fasting), one Maskhaman (31 Days Fasting by Dharini Sudhir Khona) and many more Tapasyas during the celebrations.
After buying land for new temple, community enthusiasm in building an authentic temple is obvious. Building a new Jain Temple in Washington Metro region is a once in a lifetime event for all of us. I urge each one of you to pitch in and help in the monumental process. I want to thank all the members who have already pledged and sent their donations for the New Temple. Those who have not yet pledged or have not sent donations are requested to make their share of donation for the new temple.
If you are planning to take advantage of your donation for tax year 2011, please send in your donation towards your pledge for the new temple as soon as possible.
It is almost the end of year and I am proud to be a part of this fantastic year 2011. Elections for 2012 will be held on December 11, 2011. I would request all the members to attend the general body meeting and provide your feedback on the future course of action in building the new temple.
Once again, thank you all for providing strong and loving support to the entire executive committee during year 2011. Before I conclude, I want to ask for forgiveness from all of you whose feelings I might have hurt knowingly or unknowingly due to my action, words or deeds, Michchhami Dukkadam. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome, please contact me at 240-455-4524 or write me at President@Jainsocietydc.org
Sincerely,
Bhupesh Mehta, President.
