Using Google Calendar rather than building an events system means volunteers can add an event without touching the site, and nothing needs to be rebuilt or deployed when the schedule changes.
Give Up Dairy for Paryushan / Das Lakshan
Each year we invite the community to take a pledge to stop supporting the dairy industry for the days of the parva. The auspicious period of Paryushan and Das Lakshan is a perfect time to reflect on the cruelty behind the dairy industry, and to ask for forgiveness from the animals that we unknowingly hurt.
Even if it is only for a few days, it is a sincere and humble prayer to all Jains around the world to consider eliminating dairy from their lives, which is the best thing you can do for your soul, for speechless animals, and for the planet.
