Thank You!

🛕 With heartfelt Anumodna, we recognize the selfless seva of Shri Miteshbhai & Payalben Shah for opening their grah Jinalay to host this year’s Paryushan Parv.

🙏 Their home becomes a siddha kshetra for samayik, pravachan, and aradhna, inspiring us all with their spirit of tyag and bhakti.

🍲 Jain food seva is being humbly led by Shri Miteshbhai & Hemaben Shah, ensuring Kaal Bhojan is observed with pure Jain niyams and satvik bhavna.

👨‍🏫 Scholars for the full 8 days are lovingly hosted by Shri Sanjaybhai & Hemaben Shah, reflecting true atithi satkar.

📿 We also express deep Anumodna to Manishaji & Yogeshji Jain for their continued sangh bhakti in hosting Sthanakvasi Pratikraman in both Hindi and Gujarati every year, and for once again offering to organize this sacred Pratikraman this year.

🙏 We bow to their tapa, shraddha, and generosity.

🌱 Through such sangh bhakti, JSS aims to connect hearts — sabko jodna, and pave the way for a Common Jain Community Center in Seattle.

🪔 This is not just an event — it’s a movement of Jinvani, unity, and faith.

🌟 Let’s join hands in seva, and let Jain dharma blossom together.

🙏 Anumodna! Jai Jinendra!
