Pittsburgh Hindu Jain Temple – Swamiji 60th Birthday Celebration

On July 29th, there was a beautiful celebration at the Hindu Jain Temple in Pittsburgh in which Pujya Swamiji, who was the inspirer, guide and founder in the early 1980s of the temple, celebrated His 60th birthday year!

The morning began with a few of the temple children leading Him on a shobha yatra up the steps of the temple and then a divine havan led by the temple priests.

Many of the former temple presidents and chairmen, including three past presidents of AAPI (the Association of American Physicians from India), and deans from Pittsburgh University and Carnegie Mellon University, spoke about the crucial role Pujya Swamiji played in bringing the temple to fruition. They also presented Pujya Swamiji with a beautiful letter of gratitude and appreciation.
