********************************************

Respected Shravak/Shravika,

Pranam.

As the world reels from the deadly coronavirus pandemic, yesterday Australian Federal government has announced yet another restriction whereby Indoor gathering over 100 individuals is now banned effective immediately. 

Considering this & other restrictions plus safety of the MSJS community members, as a law-abiding organisation, MSJS Management Committee had to take an unfortunate & heart-breaking decision to cancel following events:

• Residential Shibir planned during Easter 2020 (10-13 Apr)
• Samooh Aayambil (5 Apr)
• Rakeshbhai's sessions (4-5 Apr)
• Samooh Samayik and Children Pathshala at both of the locations (South East & West) until further notice. Note that MSJS Management Committee is currently assessing if online Shrut Samayik can continue.

Respected Shravak and Shravika,

Pranam.
 
Melbourne Shwetambar Jain Sangh (MSJS) is pleased to inform you that the Chaitra Maas Navpadji Oli starts from Tuesday, 31st March 2020 to Wednesday, 8th April 2020 (from Chaitra Sud 7 to Chaitra Sud 15).

MSJS has organised Samooh Aayambil on Sunday, 5th April 2020 at MSJS Centre after Samayik.

MSJS organised Samooh Aayambil Labh (Nakro of $1,501) is available and same will be given on first-come-first-served basis to Sadharmik. Please email us on [email protected] if you wish to take this Labh.

As per Jainism, Navpadji Oli is considered as Shashwati Parva. It means Navpadji Oli festivals exist in all time cycles (past, present and future).

During these nine days, one should do Aayambil - means - Eat once in a day in one sitting- a simple spice free food, boiled or cooked without milk, curd, ghee, oil, green/raw vegetables, fruits, dry fruits and sugar.

To celebrate this occasion MSJS has organised Samooh Aayambil along with Pravachan Session with Shree Rakeshbhai Shah at MSJS Centre on Sunday, 5th April 2020 after Samayik.
