Paryushan 2023

Paryushan 2023 Committee is working extremely hard to help you do the Paryushan Aaradhana very well. This year we'll have swadhyay / activities for children aged 8+ in addition to arranging child minding facilities for children aged up to 8 years.

Child Swadhyay/Activity: (Aged 8+ years)

• Swadhyay time (14:30 to 15:30 hours) on Sunday, 10th September.
• Swadhyay time (13:00 to 15:00 hours) on Sunday, 17th September.

Child minding: (Ages up to 8 years)

• During Swadhyay (Pravachan) time (19:30 to 22:00 hours) on weekdays during Paryushan.

The Paryushan Committee requests parents/guardians to submit an RSVP form for every child attending Child Minding sessions.

Please note that for child minding facility, you will be required to pay a 100% REFUNDABLE deposit of AUD $10.00 per child per day at the time of doing RSVP. This deposit amount will be refunded on the requested day at the Swadhyay time. Also note that each child, whose parents have given a response via RSVP, will be given a wristband for identification. Children with wristbands will be allowed to stay with the child carers.

RSVP is now closed. Contact us at [email protected] for more information.

MSJS Centre car park is closed. All are requested to park their cars around MSJS Centre at the appropriate locations by adhering to council parking rules and permit requirements.

Jinalay:

• Please DO NOT park cars on Rice St, Rodney St and Wendy St
• Make sure to walk quietly to/from the car
• Do not stand for a chat outside of Derasar

MSJS solely depends on support from community members by way of attendance, contributions, donations and sponsorship. The Paryushan team has planned 9 meals (including daily Chauvihar on weekdays) to make it easier for families to participate in Swadhyay and Paryushan Aaradhna.

This presents an excellent opportunity for Sadharmik Bhakti Labh which is our Kartavya.

The following are the Nakras for this event. Many individuals can participate for below Nakras.

• Sangh Prabhavana   $101
• Swamivatsalya          $301
