UPCOMING TITHI AND KALYANAK

Please refrain from eating roots, green vegetables and fruits on Tithi days.

LET'S DO WEEKEND - AYAMBIL...

We encourage all members to take benefit of our on-going Ayambil Oli, by signing up their names for doing WEEK-END Ayambil.
If you choose to do WEEK-END Ayambil, please write your name on the sheets provided on the board at Temple or send e mail to "[email protected]”. This helps volunteers prepare the food accordingly.

Whoever want to do Aayambil is requested to bring their own thali, vatko, glass and spoon to help volunteers reduce their amount of work.

If you want to participate in Aayambil Oli sponsorship (Nakro is $251),
please contact,
Vinay Shah at (734)-277-3204
or Arpan Shah at (248)-579-6553

SHRIPAL RAJA no RAAS (Link in Gujarati)

The Navpad Aradhana (puja) is observed by meditation and practicing a penance called Aayambil. One meditates upon Arihanta, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyay, Sadhus (Pancha Paramesthi), Gnan (knowledge),Darshan (faith), Charitra (conduct), and Tapa (penance) known as Navpad. Aayambil is observed by having only one meal a day of very plain food without any spices, milk, sugar, salt, oil, butter, fruits or vegetables. This penance and meditation are to be observed for nine days, twice a year, during the month of March/April (Chaitra) and September/October (Ashwin).

Accordingly, Mayana and Shripal devoutly observed Navpad worship and penance with all its vitality. The result was miraculous: Shripal’s skin disease started fading. In due course, he got totally cured of leprosy and regained the skin that he had before contracting the disease.
