Paryushan and Das Lakshan 2020

Jai Jinendra JRCW Members,

Hope you all are doing well and are safe! We are soon approaching the most important event of the year for all of us – Paryushan and Das Lakshan Maha Parv.

Due to COVID the temple will only be open on the mentioned days as linked in the schedule below. Also linked are the guidelines that we all will need to adhere to while visiting the temple.

Paryushan/Das Laskshan swadhyay’s and bhavna’s and Pariktaman will also be online on the days mentioned in the attached doc. Please use the following link to join https://tennessee.zoom.us/j/804722222 or Dial: +1 312 626 6799 (US Toll) Meeting ID: 804 722 222

For English Pratikraman please follow the following website : https://www.jaina.org/page/ParyushanMahaparv2020

We also have decided to do Paryushan Prabhavna by distributing pre packed (Ladoos and Gathyias) to all Jain Families(one packet per family). It can be collected on Sat Aug 15th or Sun Aug 16th between 10am -12:00pm when the temple would be open for visitation. If you are unable to collect it in person please check with your neighboring Jain family if they can collect on your behalf. If that is still not an option, please drop us an email and we can mail it to you.

To avoid multiple people gathering at the same time we have come up with the below cadence on when you may visit the temple on Aug 15th/16th. We strongly encourage you to follow the cadence to allow us to better manage the crowd and keep all of you safe. If for any genuine/ unavoidable reason the below cadence doesn’t work for you , you can choose to come on other times suitable to you.
