The chaturmasa has been started from the 6 th July. Jain monks and nuns started dwelling at one place during these four months.
The most auspicious Jain parva Paryushana is near by. Both Shwetambara and Digambara sects observe Paryushana (though in different dates). Both will be in August 2009. Shwetambara also do Samvatsarika Pratikramana on the last day of Paryushana i.e. samvatsari.
Jain people observe Paryushana in the auspicies of monks and nuns. But there are places where there are no monks or nuns. Some swadhyayi Shravakas go to those places to facilitate Jain people of those places. I, Jyoti Kothari, also volunteer myself for Paryushana every year since 1984. I had been to Tokyo last year.
I request you to inform me at kothari.jyoti@gmail.com if you go for Paryushana as swadhyayee or your Sangh requires a swadhyayee. This blog may help in both way.

अजीमगंज में पूजा
अजीमगंज जियागंज में अनेक धार्मिक अनुष्ठान होते थे एवं होते हैं। यहाँ मंदिरों में विभिन्न प्रकार की पूजाएँ पढ़ाई जाती थी। मंदिरों में प्रति दिन स्नात्र पूजा होती थी। इसके अलावा यहाँ नवपद जी की पूजा का विशेष महत्वा था। ओलीजी के आलावा भी हर महीने कम से कम एक वार नवपद जी की पूजा जरूर होती थी। ओलीजी के समय नवपद मंडल की पूजा श्री नेमिनाथ जी के मन्दिर में वर्षों से बड़े धूमधाम के साथ होती है। श्री हरख चंद जी रुमाल ने सब से पहले यह पूजा श्री नेमिनाथ जी के मन्दिर में शुरू करवाई थी. पहले यहाँ श्री सम्भवनाथ जी के मन्दिर में दुगड़ परिवार की और से करवाया जाता था।
हर खुशी के मौके पर जैसे शादी होने पर या कोई बड़ी तपस्या (अट्ठाई, मासक्षमन आदि) करने पर सत्रह भेदी पूजा करवाने का रिवाज़ था।

My last meeting with Manichand Bothra
It is very difficult to believe that my friend Manichand (Manish) Bothra is no more!!
He was a loving and caring personality. He had friends but no enemeys.
He was my childhood friend though much younger. We worked together in Azimganj Mahavira Mandal for long time in seventies and eighties while living in Azimganj.
We could not meet since several years as I live in Jaipur and he was in the native place Azimganj. I could meet him on the occasion of Chaturmaas Pravesha. It was June 30Th night. I reached Azimganj. My friend Sunil, presently secretary, Azimganj Shreesangh called me in the midnight. While meeting him he asked me to conduct the ceremoney next day. Manichnd had been assigned for the same originally. I told Sunil to continue with the original schedule but he forced me to take the charge. Manichand also insisted me to do so. He briefed me about the programme in that night.
On July 1st, morning hours, Sunil had asked me to start the programme but Manichand had some thing else in his mind. He told Sunil that he would rather call me and hand over the charge of announcement. He invited me to conduct the meeting and handed over the charge.
There were several singers in the programme that had to take long time. Due to time constraints I requested him not to sing. He accepted it without opposing. I could not forgive myself if my proposal was carried out. Pujya Maharaj Saheb asked him to sing his bhajan and we all could hear his voice for the last time.
While returning back to Kolkata in the same night, I incidentally met him just outside his shop. I requested him to come with me to residence of Suraj Nowlakha where my baggage were. He denied once as he had to close his shop. I had requested him again to be with me for a while and he accepted. We went together to Suraj and from there to Pujya Maharaj Saheb. While walking I told him to provide me with an audio cassete of Satraha Bhedi puja. I also requested him to collect stories about Azimganj from his father Shree Shitalchand Bothra for this blog. I wanted to get something about Azimganj from his father that could be lost due to his old age.
Who could imagine that Manichand would leave us in two days!!!!
I left Azimganj that day. The next afternoon, in Kolkata Dadabari, the bad news came in. Manichand was hospitalized out of cerebral thrombosis. Sunil reported me in the evening that Manichand was recovering and nothing to be worried. But the next morning he was brought to Kolkataas situation deteriorating. Doctors could not control situation and he was put in ventilator. Situation continued to deteriorate and he was shifted to MRI, Gariahat on 4th of July. He went into deep comma and breathed his last on that very day.
I have lost my loving friend!~! This is an irreparable loss to Azimganj sangh.
