President’s Message

03/04/2025

Jai Jinendra,

Dear members of SJRS,
Thank you for trusting the committee with your presence at the AGM#53 2025 held last Sunday.

What a year it has been. With the blessings of Dev-Guru and Dharma our Sangh has progressed leaps and bounds. In the past year, the CNY Shibir was led with the blessings of Pujya Gurudevshri Namramuni Maharaj Saheb. We had the grand celebrations of Mahavir Jayanti joined by Minister Indranee Rajah, setting a new benchmark of engaging the community of all age groups through art and spirituality. SJRS, planned two Ayambil Oli’s, the Chaitra Oli and Aso Oli which were well received by all members. The Sangam 2.0 program with Seniors in collaboration with the SGS brought the two communities together. The Paryushan Mahaparva was celebrated with the blessings of Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, led by Atmarpit Rajuji. The session of Jain Sangam: Kshama par Samvad highlighted the bond and maitri of all Jain groups coming together and showcasing our unity in diversity. This year SJRS had record 51 Tapasyas, with well executed Parna event. The year ended with the Diwali 18-Abhishek special event led by Jatinbhai Bid and Vishalbhai Gada.

The MC will strive to support members in their respective spiritual goals. We thank all members in trusting this team whole heartedly with their blessings and participation. We will continue to bring the programs that would cater to the diverse needs of our society.

Thank you.
Jai Jinendra

Kenal Kothari
President, SJRS
