We are all celebrating our most auspicious holiday “Paryushan” and hope we all are progressing to remember our original nature, our soul, and our siddhas and arihants.  This week we all will do “Samvatsari Pratikraman” and will try to go back whole year and ask forgiveness for all our mistakes to each other and all other living beings from body, words and mind.

We want to think a little more because we get this body, words, and mind from our past karmas,  so we  want to do good karmas. But our utmost goal is to rid all karmas. So we will emphasize our biggest mistake of forgetting our own soul full of bliss, happiness, and energy and ask forgiveness for that.  We will learn from our jain scriptures how to go back to that original stage as all our siddhas and arihantas are able to do.

Our heartiest michhamidukkadam to all

कुर्यात सदा मंगलम
जे जे स्वप्न तमे रच्या जीवन माँ , ते सौ प्रभु पूरजो
रिध्धि सिध्धि अनेक प्राप्त करीने, कुर्यात सदा मंगलम !

Dear jyoti and Sureshbhai: It has been 25 years today since king of celestial god Suresh took first steps with brilliant light Jyoti. Time goes fast, you have accomplished many things including raising beautiful Dipti and brave Veer. We are proud of all your accomplishments and wish you the very best for the coming years.

It was indeed fun having ladoos and other feasts to celebrate your big day.

 

Felt this is something of importance to share.

Be careful how you list names on your cell phone!

This lady has changed her habit of how she lists her names on her mobile
phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained her
mobile, Credit card, purse…etc…. was stolen. 20 minutes later when
she called her Husband, from a pay phone telling him what had happened,
hubby says “I’ve Just received your text asking about our Pin number and
I’ve replied a little while ago.”

When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the
money was already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen
hand phone to text “hubby” in the contact list and got hold of the pin
number.

Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.

Moral of the lesson: Do not disclose the relationship between you and
the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey,
Hubby, sweetheart, Dad, Mom etc……. And very importantly, when
sensitive info is being asked thru texts, CONFIRM by calling back. Also,
when you’re being text by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be
sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you
don’t reach them, be very careful about going places to meet “family and
friends” who text message you.

 

Dear Family Members:

Dr. Denzel Smith (Duncan’s Nana Bapa) expired yesterday at the age of 95 in Vero Beach Florida. For the last week he was at his home, under the loving care of Sara, and other family members. He left this body peacefully. He will be cremated in Florida and the ashes will be buried in Arlington Cemetery next to his wife in June. He served in the Navy for many years, and so the honor of being buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His pleasant manners and earthly confidence will be missed by those who loved him. We had the privilege of meeting him in 2006, although he could not attend Sheela’s wedding due to his marginal health at that time. May his soul rest in peace.

I am sorry to convey the message that Duncan’s Uncle Doug (Doug Maasa) expired this morning due to a heart attack. This is a shocking news to the family. Duncan was very close to him, so it is indeed a big loss.

Some of us will be attending the funeral. Duncan is on his way to Cape Cod and Usha and I will go along with Sheela once the arrangements are worked out.
