FUTURE PLAN – WHAT NEXT ???
We performed Pratishtha for our Jain Temple of Virginia Derasar’s (“JTVA”) seven Pratimas during June 2014. We have been approached by a lot of people with intentions to donate. Here is our current plan proposed by the Trustees and Executive Committee:
- Within 3-6 years from initial Pratishtha, perform Pratishtha for additional 24 murties in Bhoomti. In addition, either construct 2nd floor (additional 1500 sq. feet) within same unit or buy another unit in our complex for pathshala and other activities (e.g., humanity activities, lectures etc.). The execution of these items will depend on donations and interest shown by the members and volunteers.
- JTVA might also think in future to establish a retirement community that will include a small Sikharbhandhi derasar (approximately 2000 sq feet) in Northern Virginia, most likely 20-50 miles away from our current Main derasar.
