Message from the Pratishtha Committee Chairman
Jai Jinendra,
An humble beginning by a handful of devoted families has been transformed into a strong society with a membership of 275 families, a 10,000 sq. ft. facility to congregate, and now a temple. We all can be proud of our achievement.
This Pratishtha Mahotsav brings great joy and happiness. As each idol of our Tirthankars in the temple is consecrated, the spirit of these great souls will inspire worship and devotion. It is believed that the Jineshwar Darshan eliminates our sins, worship fulfills our wishes, and Pooja brings happiness. The presence of Jineshwar Dev is like having a "Kalpa Vruksha" in our temple.
This generation of Jains have tried to fulfill their obligations to provide a base for continuance of our heritage and promote and practice Lord Mahavir's message of peace and non-violence. We are confident that the next generation will spread and practice Bhgawan Mahavir's teachings even further.
On behalf of the society, I congratulate and thank all those who donated funds, time and effort to make this event successful. It has been a very involved project with a lot of time spent, efforts undertaken, and hard decisions made. In the process of this Pratishtha Mahotsav, if we have unknowingly hurt anybody's feelings or anyone has found any inadequacy in any respect, I kindly request for your understanding. Michhami Dukkadam!
