Jai Jinendra and Pranam!
Respected Society Members,
Hopefully everyone is having a blast in the hot summer. Last three months have been
very cheerful in our lives. This year BOT and EC initiated many new events and
initiatives to increase participation from our society and community members. All
this has been possible because of help from all the volunteers and contributors like
you. Here is a quick summary of since we published last Jain Vani.
JAIN COMMUNITY CENTER (JCC – Next Door Expansion Project at JSGD):
Members of BOT and JCC visited Chicago Jain Center on May 16th and spent a
day to review their facility design, activities, justification of expansion, cost,
budget, time line, Do's and Don'ts from Lessons Learned. This was very useful
trip for planning purpose of our project.
We recently sent 2nd survey for JCC to our members regarding what they would
like to see in cultural center, these results and answers to all open questions of
members along with first Draft of JCC guide lines for fund raising will be available
for review during 2nd General body meeting on June 26th at temple.
Mother's day Celebration: Mother's importance in the life cannot describe in the

Jain Vani – Kids Section STORY - MAHAVIR AND THE COW HERDER
One day as Lord Mahavir was going from one place to another, he stopped near a big tree, outside the village, to meditate. While he was meditating, a cow herder came there with his cows. He needed someone to look after the cows, so he could run some errands. He asked Mahavirswami if he would look after the cows for a few hours. Lord Mahavir was in deep meditation, and did not hear the cow herder. However, the cow herder went away thinking that Lord Mahavir had heard him and will look after the cows. In the meantime, the cows started wandering away, looking for and grazing grass. A few hours later, the cow herder returned and found all his cows missing. He asked Mahavirswami, "Where are my cows? What did you do with them?" Lord Mahavir was still in meditation and did not reply. The cow herder started wondering. "Where could they be?" Since Lord Mahavir did not reply, the cow herder searched for them everywhere in the valley, but could not find them. While he was looking for the cows, they returned to the place where Mahavirswami was meditating. When the cow herder came back, to his amazement, all his cows were standing near Lord Mahavir. Mahavirswami was still meditating. The cow herder became very angry at Lord Mahavir, because he thought that Lord Mahavir was hiding his cows. So, he took out his rope and was about to whip Mahavirswami with it. Just then, an angel from heaven came down and held the rope. "Can't you see that Lord Mahavir is in deep meditation?" asked the angel."But he tricked me!" said the cow herder. The angel replied, "He is a God. He does not care for your cows or anything else in this world. He was in meditation and did not hear you. He did not do anything to your cows. You would have gotten bad karmas for hurting him." The cow herder realized that he had made a mistake. He apologized to Lord Mahavir and went away silently. The angel went back to heaven feeling happy that he could stop Lord Mahavir's suffering. Mahavir didn't have any bad feelings towards the cow herder, because he held no anger towards anyone. We should not make hasty decisions, because we can be wrong. We should also not hurt anyone, and should observe forgiveness instead of anger. This way we can stop new karmas from coming to our soul.

Jai Jinendra, Hopefully everyone is having a great summer. This June we has our annual Fathers Day picnic and it was extremely successful. JOY took on the responsibility of making sandwiches for the event. With many volunteers, we were able to help out very much in the process of getting ready for the Fathers Day Picnic. All the dads and families enjoyed it very much! Also, on Saturday July 11th, JOY hosted a Charity Run! JOY raised money for a very important cause. We had a 5k race and fun run. This event was held at 2911 Chickasaw Street, Wixom MI 48393. We had many people sign up and come to the run! It was a lot of fun. We had about 40 people participating in the run. It was a great turn out! The money that was made from the run will be donated to the Palav Foundation of India. This is a foundation for premature babies in India. With everyones help and generous donations, JOY raised more than $900 for the foundation! The run was extremely successful thanks to many volunteers and donors. Hopefully this money will help many young lives. JOY hopes you have a great rest of the summer!
