On the 6th day of Paryushan, Bhagwan Mahaveer Swami's Nishal Gaman (start of schooling), is read in the Kalpasutra. This year we will be celebrating the same and presenting all kids with education related gift. Based on the feedback from previous years, Sangh has decided to organise a collective age-group-appropriate gift/s to be distributed to children so parents don't need to buy gifts individually.
Gifts will be distributed on Monday evening to all kids who are present.
All events (except Saturday, 12th September 2026) are to be held at MSJS Centre, 124-126 Rowans Road, Moorabbin, VIC 3189.
Saturday, 12th September 2026, Shree Mahaveer Swami Bhagwan Janma Vanchan event will be held at Springvale City Hall, 18 Grace Park Avenue Springvale VIC 3171
Morning Pooja, Chauvihar, evening Pratikraman, and evening Pravachan live streaming (except on 12th Sept, 13th Sept & 15th Sept) will be at Werribee Racing Club, 2-10 Bulban Road Werribee, VIC 3030. For further information, please get in touch with Bhavin Shah on 0433 900 608.
Paryushan 2026 Committee is working extremely hard to help you do the Paryushan Aradhana very well. This year we'll have child minding facilities for children aged up to 7 years.
Child minding: (Ages up to 7 years)
The Paryushan Committee requests parents/guardians to submit an RSVP form for every child attending Child Minding sessions.
Please note that for child minding facility, you will be required to pay a 100% REFUNDABLE deposit of AUD $10.00 per child per day at the time of doing RSVP. This deposit amount will be refunded on the requested day at the Swadhyay time. Also note that each child, whose parents have given a response via RSVP, will be given a wristband for identification. Children with wristbands will be allowed to stay with the child carers.
MSJS Centre car park is closed. All are requested to park their cars around MSJS Centre at the appropriate locations by adhering to council parking rules and permit requirements. Please refer the parking map for details;


Our Jinalay and MSJS Centre is situated in a residential area, and to maintain respectful relations with our neighbours and ensure a smooth experience for all attendees, please adhere strictly to the parking instructions below: Refer the Parking Map for clarification.
Parking Guidelines
MSJS solely depends on support from community members by way of attendance, contributions, donations and sponsorship. The Paryushan team has planned 11 meals (including daily Chauvihar on weekdays) to make it easier for families to participate in Swadhyay and Paryushan Aaradhna.
This presents an excellent opportunity for Sadharmik Bhakti Labh which is our Kartavya.
The following are the Nakras for this event. Many individuals can participate for below Nakra.
To take Labh for any of the above Nakra, please email [email protected].
