Jai Jinendra
The ultimate dream for every shravak is to build
a derasar. This dream is finally becoming a reality for
the members of Jain Society of Central Florida. Today
our hearts are filled with immense joy. The seeds of this
dream were sown many years ago. After the years of
hard work and support from every member of the sangh.
today, with great pride we are making this auspicious
announcement.
Invitation
Jain Society of Central Florida would like to cordially
invite you, your friends and families to the Pratistha
Mahotsav of the grand new Shikharbandi Derasar

Monday, September 16th 2013. Mark your
calendars and please save this date to
attend the Pratistha Mahotsav. Our
Pratishtha will be perfomed under the
expert guidance of renowned vidhikar
Shri Narendrabhai Nandu.
We request your presence on this
divine occasion with devotion.
Respectfully,

Anila Vijay Poonai Tirth
My wife, Anila maintained a large collection of books on Jain
studies and philosophy at our home. Since leaving India in 1961,
Anila made it a point to return every year for pilgrimages to visit
Jain tirthas in every nook and corner of India. She loved visiting
different Jain tirthas each year. While on these pilgrimages, she
contributed lovingly to the upkeep of the temples and to promote
the ancient tradition of the Dharamshalas and Bhojanshalas.
Anila’s life was dedicated to promote the principles and
practice of Jainism. It is my pleasure to keep my wife Anila’s
faith alive. “Anila Vijay Poonai Tirth” will fulfill her dream of
promoting Jainism and leave an everlasting legacy for all Jains.
On behalf of JSOCF, I am deeply honored to welcome you and
your family to this grand “Pran Pratistha Mahotsav”.
In her prayers Dr. Anilaben always expressed her hope that
soon the tenets of Jainism would rescue mankind from selfdestruction.
- Dr. Parmanand Vijay Poonai
JSOCF committee would like to recognize Dr. Parmanand
Vijaybhai Poonai as Mahajanpati for his generous donation to

a Bhagwan Kalyanak b
Chyavan Kalyanak : Chyavan Kalyanak is the moment when
the soul of our Tirthankar enters the womb of his mother.
Saudharm Indra assembles his cabinet & celebrates the
joyous day with music & dances. Mother witnesses 14
dreams this night. The advent of our Tirthankar’s soul
into human form is celebrated as Chyavan Kalyanak.
Janma Kalyanak : This is the event when the Tirthankar’s
soul is born. Jan means birth and Janma Kalyank means
the birth of Tirthankar soul in human body. 56 young girls
present the mother with the gifts through joyous dances.
Saudharm Indra takes the newborn Bhagwan to Mount
Meru in a large procession. The Birth is celebrated with
songs & dances. At Mount Meru the Bhagwan’s Abhishek
is done with 1008 Kalash. Child God’s birth is celebrated
for the spiritual fulfillment, as this is His last birth.
Diksha Kalyanak : In the King’s assembly the young
prince declares his intention of renouncing the worldly
life and the parents accept this decision with joy.
Nine Lokantik angles praise the renunciation thoughts
of the prince. The prince donates 1 crore gold coins
everyday to the needy persons and there after takes
Diksha (Renunciation).
This is the event when the Tirthankar’s soul gives up all
his worldly possessions and becames a monk.
Kevalgyan Kalyanak : This is event when Tirthankar’s
soul destroys the four ghati karmas completely and
attains the Kevalgyan (absolute knowledge). Celestial
angels set Samavasaran for Tirthankars from where they
deliver the first sermon. This is the most important event
for the entire Jain order as the Tirthankar reinstates Jain
Sangh and preaches the Jain path of purification and
liberation.
Nirvan Kalyanak : This event is when a Tirthankar’s soul
is liberated from this worldly physical existence forever
and becomes a Siddha. On this day, the Tirthankar’s soul
destroys the four aghati karmas completely, and attains
salvation, the state of eternal bliss.
