Message From The Public Relations Office

Jai Jinendra,

I want to thank Jain Center for giving me the opportunity to serve (do seva) for two years as Public Relations Officer. I have benefited a lot by doing seva and getting involved with Jain Center activities. I hope I have met your expectations. I am asking for forgiveness if I have hurt anybody's feelings in fulfilling my responsibilities. Michhami Dukkadam.

I want to thank Sheenika Shah, Shami Shah, Noopur Khairnar, Soumil Mehta, Ramesh Parekh, Nikhil Dhami, Narendra Jain, Payal Kindiger, Puja Sheth and all those who helped the office of Public Relations during my term as PR. I could not have done it without their help.

I learned that you get lots of pleasure and internal peace when you do seva. I urge everybody to get involved. Once you are in, you will miss it if you do not stay involved.

Kinalbhai Modi will assume the duty of Public Relations Officer starting on January 01, 2016. He can be reached at or by phone at (714) 290-9981.

Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy and a Prosperous New Year and may we all prosper spiritually in the coming years.
