Respected Shravak and Shravika,

Pranam.
 
Melbourne Shwetambar Jain Sangh (MSJS) is pleased to inform that the Aaso Maas Navpadji Oli starts from Saturday, 1st October 2022 to Sunday, 9th October 2022 (from Aaso Sud 6 to Aaso Sud 15 - Kshay of Aaso Sud 13).

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

During these nine days, one should do Aayambil - which means - Eat once 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 Sattar-Bhedi Pooja for children and adults separately followed by Samooh Aayambil / Swami-vatsalya.

Important :

• Sattar-Bhedi Pooja for children and adults will run simultaneously. Please come in Pooja clothes to participate in Sattar-Bhedi Pooja. 
• To enable all Sadharmik to participate in Sattar-Bhedi Pooja, MSJS has made arrangements for Aayambil as well as a normal meal (Lunch). Those who do not wish to do Aayambil are welcome to participate in Sattar-Bhedi Pooja and have a normal meal instead. RSVP is required for all meals. 
• Due to a shortage of resources/helpers, MSJS request all Sadharmik to bring their own (BYO) utensils (plate, spoon, bowl, glass etc), boiled water and napkins for Aayambil and Normal meal. We will let you know if there are any changes to this arrangement closure to the date.
• A group of Sadharmik have organised daily Aayambil during Oli at MSJS Centre and in Western Suburb. If you want more information about this then contact Jaydeep Sutaria on 0422 625 555.

Sattar-Bhedi Pooja

Sunday, 9th October 2022 (09:30 AM to 12:30 PM at MSJS Centre) Sattar-Bhedi Pooja is usually performed to do Prayaschit for any Ashaatna done in Sangh Derasar or Sangh events throughout the year (Example: Sneezing during Samvatsari Pratikraman). MSJS has organised this Pooja to bring peace, happiness, prosperity, and good health to all. MSJS will provide all required items for the Pooja. However, as we know, it provides immense satisfaction to do Pooja with personal items (Sva-Dravya). If you wish to use Sva-Dravya, Sangh will be happy to provide you required guidance. We request all Sadharmik to come in Pooja clothes to participate in Sattar-Bhedi Pooja.
