Respected Shravak/Shravika,
Pranam.
Shree Melbourne Shwetambar Jain Sangh (MSJS) is pleased to invite you and your family to celebrate Aaso Maas Oli, starting from Monday 29th September to Tuesday 7th October 2025 (from Aaso Sud 7 to Aaso Sud 15).
MSJS is delighted to host Gyanotsav, for youth and adults at MSJS Centre, followed by Samooh Aayambil / Swami-Vaatsalya during Aaso Maas Oli. This event offers a wonderful opportunity to learn and explore Jain philosophy while reflecting together on our inner selves and faith in an inspiring environment.
Gyanotsav - Friday, 3rd Oct to Monday, 6th Oct 2025
With the blessings of Dev, Guru, and Dharmthra, we are delighted to inform you that Shri Anubhav Jain will be coming to Melbourne to embark on a spiritual journey through this Gyanotsav during Aaso Maas Oli.
Anubhavji is a young visionary educator and a spiritual guide. His discourses have helped many, including youth. He is the Founder and Chief Education Officer of The Arham – Body of Divinity and Excellence, and Secretary of Syat Education Society. Since 2009, he has delivered profound discourses on Jain philosophy across India and internationally - including Nairobi, Dubai, London, and North America - empowering youth and seekers alike.
Aaso Maas Navpadji Oli
As per Jainism, Navpadji Oli is considered as Shashwati Parva. It means the Navpadji Oli festival exists in all time cycles (past, present, and future).
During these nine days, one should do Aayambil - which means - Eat once a day in one sitting- a simple spice-free food, boiled or cooked without milk, curd, ghee, oil, green/raw vegetables, fruits, dry fruits and sugar.
Let us all join together to celebrate the most auspicious Gyan Parva during the festive days of Navpadji Oli.
