SAMETSHIKHAR JI
JANUARY 18- FEBRUARY 4
The 2005 JAINA YATRA will start from Calcutta on January 18 and end at Agra on Feb 4th. Our tentative itinerary is to visit Kalyanak Bhoomi Temples of Shree Shikharji, Rujubalika, Guniyaji, Pawapuri, Kundalpur, Rajgir. Lachhwad, Kakandi, Champapuri, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Ratnapuri and Shouryapuri. We will also visit Patna, Bodhgaya Nalanda and Taj Mahal.. We will spend three days at Veerayatan Ashram of Acharya Chandanaji. She is arranging a special program for the yatris to learn of the progress of the JAINA-Veerayatan joint project of building a new school at Pawapuri. We will also visit Parswanath Vidypeeth in Banaras where tomorrow's Pandits of Jainism are educated. All in all it will be a wonderful religious and educational experience. As always, we will invite a prominent Jain scholar to accompany us in yatra who can explain significance of our Teerths.
JAINA YATRA 2005
The cost of the ground package including all transportation, lodging and boarding is $750 + $45 for registration fee. We are planning for 80 Yatris and registration will be on first come first served basis. At the end of the Yatra, we will arrange train or air reservation for you to go to your home city. A short registration form is provided for you to fill out and we will send you confirmation and updated itinerary, upon receiving the form. Take note JAINA Yatra is also a wonderful opportunity for you to have your family members in India join you for 15 days of spiritual journey.
Air travel between North America and India are your own responsibility and we strongly urge everyone to get travel insurance. Our initial plan to include Nepal has been changed keeping in mind of current uncertainties in Nepal. Instead we will plan extended stay at Pawapuri or Agra.
