To all convention attendees, dignitaries and guests,
Jai Jinendra! Cherry Hill Jain Sangh (CHJS) is proud to sponsor YJA Convention 2010! We are thrilled to be welcoming attendees and guests from the United States, Canada, India, UK and Australia. In October 2009, YJA and CHJS made a firm commitment to support and improve each other's organizations. From October through today, we have been able to support YJA financially, with volunteer support and in many other respects including sponsoring the 2010 YJA Fundraising Garba. In return, YJA has brought an increased energy to CHJS activities, particularly amongst youth.
Our sangh's members are very excited to participate in this biennial event. We hope that this is the beginning of a lasting partnership between our sangh and YJA. YJA needs the support of all North American Jain sanghs and we urge all other Jain sanghs to partner with YJA. Through our partnership, we are confident in YJA's ability to help bring Jainism to the next generation with a combination of spiritual, social and service activities.
CHJS just celebrated its 20th anniversary with our 20th Anniversary Panchanika Mahotsav celebration, which took place from May 19-23, 2010. During the course of the weekend, we welcomed over 1,000 individuals into our Dherasar for festivities ranging from Navgrah poojan to 18 Abhishek and Shanti Snatra Poojan to a lively youth cultural program.
Our Pathshala is held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month starting at 10 AM. We feature both Gujarati language and Jain dharma classes for all ages. The Pathshala program is 140 youth and adults strong and growing
We invite you to visit Cherry Hill Jain Sangh at anytime. We have Snatra Pooja every Saturday and Monthly Pooja on the first Sunday. We do Aarti and Mangal Divo on a daily basis.
