Acharya Sushil Gurve Namah!

Bhagwaan Mahavira Kevalgyan, May 18, 2024

Dear brothers and sisters,
Jai Jinendra!

Here’s to respectfully invite you to perform Bhoomi Pujan & Khanan of SIDDHACHAL BAHUBALI TIRTH on August 17-18, 2024.

The spectacular Siddhachal Bahubali Tirth is yours to make, and the booklet in your hands describes a once in a lifetime opportunity to help make Jain history. Siddhachal Bahubali Tirth will enshrine for all times to come the supreme importance we give to the magnificence of forgiveness, renunciation and conquest over oneself. Your participation will be recognized in permanent plaques at Devbhoomi – the actual site of the pratamajis. The FAQs provide details.

For his vision and purusharth in tirelessly seeking to give shape to Guruji’s dreams – in words and deeds – our gratitude to Samaj Ratna Jaipat Singh Jain. From Shikharji at Siddhachalam to Siddhachal Bahubali Tirth, we have come a long way with his involvement.

Gratitude is owed to the wisdom and support of our past and present Board, Executive and Working Committee members, volunteers, and staff. Some of them are listed in the brochure, others not. We respectfully thank each and every one of them and their families, and the members of the Charter Members Council and all supportive brothers and sisters.

Special mention here must be made of the sponsors of the project: Hemant and Ami Shah, NJ; Poonam Patni, Anirudh & Gavkhar Patni, and Ambika Patni, MA; Sanjay & Renu Pandya, and Rajeev & Damyanti Pandya, NY; Surendra and Neelima Jain, SC; Ashok & Nirmala Sancheti, NJ; Anonymous, Andover, MA; Krishna Kant & Chandra Mehta, NY; Kanak & Prabha Golia, NY; Family of (late) Mahendra Singh Daga, CA, NJ; Sampath & Dolores Bhojani, NJ; (late) Subhash & Sarla Jain, NJ; Saroj & (late) Surendra Jain, CA; Sailesh Khona, NJ; Ashok & Sushila Patni, India; and Hasmukh & Chandrika Doshi, NJ. From this august list, we recently lost Subhashji – a reminder that life is ephemeral and the opportunity to make a difference is now, a theme thoughtfully covered in the pages of our brochure.

On behalf of the Siddhachalam family, welcome!
