The Jain Bhawan is a proud symbol of harmony and unity as we at the Jain Bhawan have combined all Jain traditions – Shwetamber, Digamber, Sthanakvasi, Terapanthi, and Shrimad Rajchandra traditions – under one roof. Our increasing membership makes JCNC a vibrant place. Thanks to our dedicated volunteers.
It is nice to see that 24,000 sq. ft. of the space is used in many different ways. More than 1,600 people attend the six major religious functions every year. Industrial grade kitchen and dining hall are fully utilized. Hundreds of volunteers work from early morning to late evening to make each function successful. Sunday mornings are filled with lively giggles & chuckles from 500+ young children, following their religious classes or regional language classes. The JCNC holds regular meditation classes and senior citizen mixers. Religious discussions on varied subjects are frequently heard in the classrooms. Jain Bhawan has become a very popular place for social events in San Francisco Bay Area. Various outside groups take advantage of our reasonably priced rental packages for their education classes, weddings, engagements, birthday parties, cultural programs, and music functions. All of this requires larger operational funds than ever before to maintain and manage the elegance of our temple.
