President’s Message

Jai Jinendra,

Kenal Kothari, SJRS President

By the grace of Dev-Guru and Dharma, Im honored and blessed to have been given this opportunity to offer seva for our SJRS Sangh. I express my sincere gratitude to the outgoing president, Shri Parreshbhai Timbadia and the entire committee for their dedicated seva. 🙏

With blessings from our Vadils and selfless dedication and support from the entire committee, I feel confident that we will continue to strengthen our society’s values, to foster a spirit of unity through dharma prabhavna, and to enhance our outreach and impact in the community through seva. I believe our society has a vital role to play in promoting interfaith dialog and contributing to our nations harmony through love and respect towards each other and their beliefs.

I invite all our members to join me in this journey and to share your ideas, talents and resources on how we can achieve our goals together. I close with a reflection on the universal virtues of Maitri (Friendliness), Pramod (Appreciation), Karuna (Compassion) and Madhyasthata (Equanimity), that inspire us to build positive relationships. 🙏

Kenal Kothari
SJRS President
