JAINA Convention 2005 Program Introduction... Dear JAINA Convention 2005 Attendees: Jai Jinendra! On behalf of JAINA Convention 2005 Programming Committee it's my distinct pleasure to welcome you to the thirteenth convention. This Program Guide and accompanying pocket size insert provides you detailed information so you can select the sessions you would like to attend. This year we have a new program format. The entire program is structured around the core Convention Theme which is Extending Jain Heritage in Western Environment, and all the sessions are planned in support of this theme. The Convention program has approximately 250 sessions over the convention duration and a number of special sessions like the Opening Ceremony and evening cultural and entertainment programs. The program is configured in two broad categories, one for the young and "next generation" Jains, and the other for all others with some overlap in-between. With the objective of providing suitable program content for all age groups and varying interests, the program is split into 21 different tracks plus youth program sessions. Each track is on a broad subject that is related to or it supports the Convention Theme. Each of the tracks has any where between 4 and 11 sessions over the convention period. Every session in the Convention Program uniquely addresses what we face and need in our day-to-day life, and collectively they help us to understand how we can be successful at home and at work. Some highlights of the program are: For those interested in religious uplifting and re-education, the program includes approximately 130 sessions on religious topics consisting of a condensed course on fundamentals of Jainism, advanced religious topics, focused multi-session lectures on Tattvartha Sutra and Jain Way of Life as Explained by Srimad Rajchandra Ji, and lectures and discourses on many more topics. Three outstanding entertainment programs (1) Raas-Garba on July 1st evening with Satellite group from India, (2) Jain Center cultural competition on July 2 evening, and (3) an evening with Anuradha Paudwal and Manhar Udhas on July 3rd. Some outstanding speakers in the Opening Ceremony and a special session on Unity in Diversity. The later includes talks by leading Jain Acharyas from India especially recorded for this occasion. A symposium on "Ahimsa and Aparigraha in Contemporary Contexts" on July 3d. The symposium organized by Ahimsa Center at Cal Poly Pomona and sponsored by JAINA features many of the leading Jain academicians, researchers and business leaders. Jain Cooking with Tarla Dalal sessions and a special Iron Chef styled cooking competition for the food lovers who want to enhance their culinary skills. Over 10 sessions on topics covering health, women's perspectives, senior citizen perspectives, child raising, and medical education for the attendees interested in social issues. A muti-faceted youth program includes lectures, workshops, and field trips focusing on the theme "Communications, Charity and Compassion in Action through Service". The youth program caters to diverse interests and age groups and in addition to lectures and field trips, it includes Jain Academic Bowl, a cruise, a trip to Great America Theme Park, Bollywood Aerobics and several sessions with opportunities for social interactions and networking. A number of re-unions of regional groups for the attendees seeking to catch-up with friends. 3o Eleven parallel sessions every early morning to help attendees invigorate mind, body and soul including chanting, sutra recital, yoga, Prekshaddhyan, Pratikraman, Bhangra Aerobics and Sun Gazing. $0 An Art Exhibition featuring some of the established and some emerging Jain artists. We, in the Programming Committee, have crafted the program very diligently and we have invited some of the most renowned Jain philosophers, religious leaders and business leaders from around the world and we encourage all of you to fully take advantage of their presence. The convention offers once in a lifetime opportunity to learn how to live a better and healthy Jain life at home and at work, the key in Extending Jain Heritage in Western Environment. The entire Convention Team comprising of hundreds of volunteers has spent countless hours in trying to offer you the best ever convention. Whereas we have attempted to pay attention to all minute details, we ask for your forgiveness for our shortcomings. Mitchhammi Dukkaddam!!! Dr. Parveen K.

DIANNE FEINSTEIN CALEORMA United States Senate WASHINGTON, DC 20510-0504 toeleste senate.gov July 1, 2005 Federation of Jain Associations In North America (JAINA) DF:sa Dear Friends, It is my pleasure to extend warm greetings and congratulations to all "who have gathered in Santa Clara to celebrate the 13 Biennial JAINA Convention. Since 1981, JAINA has provided a forum for Jains from the U.S. and Canada. And for 13 years, the JAINA convention has been a wonderful occasion for Jains from all over the world to come together and celebrate their common faith. It is also an opportunity for the community at-large to become acquainted with the Jain faith and the message it has to offer to the community. It is my hope that this convention will be a joyful celebration and a reunion of family and friends. CARTER ON RAPPARITIONS TOMMITTEE COPY AND NATUR As a United States Senator representing the State of California, I congratulate you on your 13th Biennial Convention. With warmest personal regards.

Co-Sanghpati... Jai Jinendra, On behalf of the entire San Francisco Bay Area Jain Samaj, I welcome all Sadhus, Sadhvis, Shramans, Shramanis, Shravaks, Shravikas to the 2005 JAINA convention. I would like to pay special respects to all learned Jain scholars for gracing this conven tion. Over the centuries, technological advances in transportation have transformed the world into a global village. Since Jain tradition limits the use of any form of transportation other than walking, the message of Jainism cannot travel overseas as freely as can Jains themselves. The teachings of the Jainism should not be hampered by such constraints, and, instead, should flourish among Jains, both, at home and abroad. We want this convention to be a forum for intellectual debate and discourse of the great Jain philosophy, Jain culture, and Jain traditions; particularly, among our youth. Jains living abroad do not have the luxury of learning and understanding from the Acharays. Therefore, the responsibility on Jain Shravaks is higher. It rests on their shoulders to impart the philosophy of Jainism to the coming generations. I also believe there is one Jain. We want to create unity among all Jains while respecting the many diverse traditions we each hold dear. It is our desire that this convention also serve as a platform of intellectual discussion on this topic as well. Additionally, I hope all of you to have great fun, and enjoy the beautiful San Francisco weather. Please visit our unique Jain temple, and participate in various cultural activities Meet new friends and renew old friendships. Our volunteers have worked very hard to make this a unique and memorable event for all attendees. In closing, on behalf of all Jains living in the Bay Area, I want to give you my "Michhami Dukadam" in advance for any mistakes. Best, Shailesh J. Mehta Sanghpati For Personal & Private Use Only

It is widely known that Shrimad Rajchandra, a Jain, had a major impact on Mahatma Gandhi's spintual life. Gandhiji considered him as his spiritual teacher. OPEN Daily (Nitya Niyam)Puja using Ashta Dravya is the first of the six essentials to be observed by a Jain Shravak.
