Jain Swadhyay Mandir Songadh (JSMS) in USA was started in a humble way by a newly immigrated Mumukshu to USA as solo work during 1992 and it was formally registered as Non-Profit religious organization with Federal Government during 1996. It is having Federal Tax Exempt ID also.
Gurudev Shri Kanji Swami was instrumental in starting a new revolution in the percept and practice of Jainism as envisaged by Bhagwan Mahavir and his predecessors. Sole aim of this Mission (JSMS) is to pervade this Tatvagyan among desirous Mumukshus in North America.
Since last ten years, every year we organize four days Seminar while celebrating Gurudev Kanji Swami Janma Jayanti at different places in North America (during Memorial week-ends). We invite eminent scholars from India and also local scholars to conduct the seminar.
Scholars are also invited to help celebrate Das Laxan Parva and conducting classes at various Jain Centers. JSMS provide all Adhyatmic literature, CDs of Gurudev Pravachans on all scriptures, Atmadharma monthly, Atma-darshan bimonthly, gift of books written by eminent scholars.
We shall consider our efforts aptly rewarded, if even a few people are encouraged from activity of this mission to direct their lives on the right path to achieve real happiness.
