The Jain Center of Southern California (JCSC) arranged a grand Pratishtha Mahotsav from September 26 through October 6, 2008 to commemorate opening of a new Religious Complex in the city of Buena Park.  Several Oshwal families living in the Los Angeles area actively participated in the celebration.  Nina Aashit Shah of Carlsbad, Reena and Milan Shah of Aliso Viejo, Seema and Sujit Shah of Aliso Viejo, and Shilpa and Nitin Shah of Temple City were part of a large group of volunteers who helped in several activities to make this a memorable occasion..  Sajan, Riya and Anika (children of Seema and Sujit Shah) and Shivani (daughter of Shilpa and Nitin Shah) took part in cultural programs which were very entertaining. Riya had also the honor of lighting a Diva to commemorate the beginning of Pratishtha Mahotsav.  Sushilaben Girishbhai Shah of Yorba Linda wrote, directed and produced an enlightening one act play titled “Jambu Swami’s Vairagya”.  Her commentary and acting by members of the Swadhya Group including Girishbhai and their two sons – Bickey and Moulick, was truly commendable.

Our friends in Australia have launched a website for the Australian Oshwal community, here:

OEWA has come a long way since it first started in 1996 at Croydon, London. Not only has it provided food and shelter to the elderly Oshwals, but is also offering support for any health issues, entertainment, planning trips and advice for housing accommodation, disability, etc. Starting with only six members the membership has increased leaps and bounds. Overcoming many hurdles like lack of place, money, and volunteers ,the OEWA has come a long way. This is due to selfless efforts like many social workers such as Satishbhai Shah. For a more detailed article published in the London-based “Gujarat Samachar”, see the link below:
