The Jain Center of Southern California (JCSC)
located
in Buena Park, California is a non-profit religious organization
to pursue a goal of practicing, promoting and preserving the Jain
religion. It is governed by a constitution and managed by
Board
of Directors and an Executive Committee
consisting of President, Vice President,
Secretary, Treasurer, Public Relations, and ten Directors, who
are elected by the Jain Center members for a term of two years.
Various Events and On-going Activities
are planned and organized by a number of sub-groups including
Mahavir Mandal,
Jain Center Youth Council (JCYC),
Jain Association of Young Adults (JAYA), and
Jain Seniors Association.
During the year many Dignitaries
from India and other parts of the world visit our center and hold
lectures and discourses in Jainism.
The Jain Center of Southern California has a very rich
History
going back to 1979 when it was established. It has continued to
be an active center for members of all ages. We have now
completed
Phase 2 of a much needed expansion of the center.
The new facility
covers a religious complex, a cultural complex and an educational
complex. All these has been done at a
total cost of about $20 million
made possible by generous donations of our members.
We look forward to seeing you at the Jain Center!!
