               Even  the  ordinary  becomes  extraordinary,     worship  of  Lord  Jayvallabh  Parshwanath.
               The  natural  becomes  super-natural                  “You  are  too  Ɵ red  today,  take  a  short  nap.”
               The  impossible  becomes  possible!!             Pujyashee  said.

           GachchhadhipaƟ   to  take  Pachchhakhan  of  1  Upvas.  Something  was  not  Þ ne!!
               Pujyashree exclaimed, “Why just 1 upvas?? Why         While  climbing  down  at  approx  4.00  p.m.  I  was
           not  do  the  enƟ re  Maskhaman  (3o  upvas)??”      struck  with  a  4°  fever!!  That  was  the  end  of  all  my
