Jai Jinendra.
It is a great pleasure to inform you that Federation of Jain Associations in North America has finalized a religious pilgrimage to one of the holiest and historical places in the Jain religion. We have organized a ninety-nine yatra event to the Shree Shatrunjay Mahatirth in 2016. The Yatra will commence on November 14th, 2016 and be completed on January 13th, 2017. This, once- ina- lifetime ninety-nine yatra event will be performed under the guidance of Acharya Bhagwants. These Acharya Bhagwants are still trying to be determined at this time. Shri Punch Parmashati Narendrabhai Nandu and his team will lead and conduct all the activities during these two months. The objective of this event is to unite Jains, who currently live in North America to return to one of the holiest places in our time-tested religion. We need the financial support for this large scale event. The Shree Shatrunjay Mahatirth 99 Yatra Committee has decided to create a souvenir booklet, to supplement the cost, and for the yatris to remember such a wonderful event. In this souvenir booklet the yatra committee will include messages and greetings from many prominent religious scholars and political figures. We will also include the information on Jain societies within the United States and Canada and pertinent religious scriptures pertaining to the Yatra event. Providing an advertisement within this souvenir booklet will give your business an opportunity to advertise to a variety of people from all across the country.
