Shree Arihant Shwetamber Murti Pujak Jain Sangh (AJS) was established from Ghar Derasar in year 2022 for practicing rituals and practices in accordance with Jain Shwetamber principles. The idea of organizing AJS was to provide a platform to propagate and promote teachings of Jain religion doctrines in Canada, and establish an institution for performing religious, social, and cultural activities for an ever-increasing Jain community in Greater Toronto Region.

With a sizable community leaving in western side of Greater Toronto, there has been a strong need for a Shikharbandi Jinalay (Jain place of worship) in the area. Considering the need, group of community leaders took an initiative to form AJS and as a good head start, AJS recieved 6 Anjan Salaka Pratimajis (the first in Canada) from Shivaniben Rushabhai Shah’s family and placed them in AJS Jinalaya.

Given the vastness & complexity of Jainism and varied practices among different interpretations and various Jain sects, AJS will strive to follow core, fundamental principles and beliefs of Shwetamber Murtipujaks.
