I am pleased to have this opportunity to send greetings to each of you attending the Jain Temple's opening ceremony and Pratishtha Mohatsav celebrations.
These celebrations are an incredible testament to the noble spiritual principles of the Jain religion. They represent a wondrous message of hope and strength for people today. The tribute today is an exceptional reminder of the precious ideals that your community embodies. The Jain community's rich cultural heritage. and strong character will certainly shine through on this exciting day.
This celebration is also a joyous commemoration of the diversity and vitality of New York's communities.

Your efforts remind us of the values, the lessons, and the ideals that we want to preserve in building our future.
