Paryushan Parva Day 6 - Mahaveer Swami Bhagwan Nishal Gaman:

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.

Venue Location:

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

Western Suburb:

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.
