SUMMARY:Snatra Puja
DESCRIPTION:JSMW hosts a monthly Snatra Puja on every 2nd Sunday of the Month (list of dates are below). \nStart Time: 10:30am followed by Swami Vatsalya (Potlock format) \nLocation: Jain Center\, 1021 Briggs Chaney Road\, Silver Spring MD 20905 \nContact: Vaishali Chheda @ vaishali.chheda@gmail.com \n\nSnatra pooja illustrates the celebration of two of the auspicious (out of five) events (Kalyanaks) occurring in the last life of Tirthankar Bhagwan.\nThis Puja and celebration are for all Tirthankaras and not specific to any particular one.\nTwo 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).\nThis 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.\nPuja 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.\nSponsors will perform the Shanti Kalash (if no sponsor\, Gheeboli will be performed)\nAarti Mangal Divo will be given as per Gheeboli\n\nFuture Dates: \n\n\n\nDecember 8\, 2024

SUMMARY:Ayambil Oli
DESCRIPTION:Ayambil Oli\n\n\nOctober 9\, 2024  to October 17\, 2024\n\nLocation: – Jain Center \, Briggs Chaney\n\n\n\n\n\nThis year\, we will be having Ayambil on all 9 days at our temple between 12 and 1 PM. (Please note that Oct 21st time may slightly change. Stay tuned.)

Navpad Oli comes twice in a year. The first one falls in the bright fortnight of Ashwina month (September/October) and the second during the bright fortnight of Chaitra month (March/April). The devotees observe Ayambil tapa during nine days of Navpad Oli along with a special kind of worship\, holy recitation and meditation in honor of the Navpad.
