Your generous tax-deductible donation will enable JCA to support and carry out various activities such as the ones listed below:
General Funds: To support daily, weekly and yearly activities at JCA Temple. This will help us in spreading our Jain Way of Life in our community and benefit our future generations.
Student Pathshala: Religious education is important because it equips students with cultural, social, moral and spiritual knowledge that aids in mental and physical development within society. Children are naturally curious and by teaching them about our religion, we are giving them the information they seek and filling the gap in their knowledge. We request you to support this cause for benefit of our future generations.
Bhojanshala Tithi: Sponsoring Bhojanshala for a day is only $251. Your Sponsorship will help us to conduct Bhojanshala activities at JCA. Some of the occasions that you can Sponsor are Birthdays, Wedding Anniversaries, Punya Tithis for any relative or any other occasion that you would like to share with our Jain Community.
Building Maintenance: The most distinctive and unique feature of the JCA NY Temple complex is the manner in which it has managed to unite the diverse traditions of the Jain faith under one building, with each tradition having their own worshipping space, to preserve their unique tradition and identity, in order to foster greater harmony and unity among all its members. We request you to support the ongoing needs of the Temple building to maintain and improve the facilities of the Temple.
Mahavir Jayanti: Each year, JCA organizes an annual cultural program to celebrate Mahavir Bhagwan Janma Kalyanak in which over 1,500 Jains along with their families from around the Tri-State area attend to celebrate the religious festivities. We request you to support the tradition of celebrating this festival to foster and teach the preaching of Bhagwan Mahavir.
Pratishtha Anniversary: Every year JCA celebrates Pratishtha Anniversary of our Temple and do prabhavna of Bhagwan, spread the principle of Ahimsa, Anekantavada and Aparigraha. We request you to support this event to celebrate the foundation and heritage we have received, to practice and nurture our Jain religion.
