Sydney Jain Mandal Inc
Sydney Jain Mandal Inc is a non-profit religious and educational organisation representing the Jain community in Sydney, Australia. Established in 1991 by five families aiming to celebrate Mahavir Jayanti collectively[5], it has grown into a prominent institution fostering Jain principles and cultural practices among Australian Jains[1][3].
History
Founded in 1991, the organisation initially hosted monthly gatherings in members' homes, later relocating to Hindu temples in Auburn and Canberra due to increasing participation[5]. Key milestones include installing marble idols of Mahavir Swami and Parshvanatha in Hindu temples (2000–2003) with rituals led by Hombuja Jain Mutt clergy[5]. By the early 2000s, membership surpassed 40 families, prompting efforts to secure a dedicated Jain temple[5].
Activities and Events
Sydney Jain Mandal organises annual events such as Mahavir Jayanti (April), Paryushan (August/September), and Mahavir Nirvan (October/November)[1]. Regular activities include monthly devotional gatherings (bhajan), discussions on Jain philosophy, and retreats (shibir) during Easter weekends[1][4]. The group also facilitates visits by scholars from India and meditation sessions[3][4].
Jain Education Centre Project
The organisation is developing a Jinalay (Jain temple) and education centre to serve as a hub for religious instruction, meditation, and cultural activities[4]. The centre aims to teach ritual practices, Yoga, and Jain ethics while preserving traditions for future generations[4].
Governance
Registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC)[2], Sydney Jain Mandal operates as a tax-deductible charity, relying on donations and volunteer efforts to support its religious, educational, and community-building initiatives[1][3]. Its activities focus on assimilating migrants through shared cultural and linguistic practices[3].
