Pratishthas (Installation of Jain idols) This is a unique year in which five major Pratishthas are planned (an unthinkable thought just a few years ago). Starting with EdmontonAlberta, Canada on Mahavir Jayanti (birth) Day (April 4), followed by Albany, NY (May 29-30), Chicago, IL (June 24-27), Dallas, Texas (July 911) and ending with Ocala, FL (July 23-25), these religious celebrations are going to provide opportunities for spiritual knowledge and upliftment. 7th Biennial JAINA Convention (July 2-4) Past JAINA Conventions have been where Jains of all ages not only from North America but also from many parts of the world came to debate issues, exchange views and meet friends, relatives, monks and scholars. The next convention in Pittsburgh is going to be bigger, better and is expected to be attended by 6,000 to 7,000 Jains (the largest assembly of Jains outside India). It is going to be a showcase of the Jain community. The Jain Society of Pittsburgh (the host) has been spending a lot of resources of brain-power, manpower and money to make this conventiona memorable event. Very elaborate planning and coordination has been going on for one and onehalf years. Many dignitaries, scholars, monks, leaders, thinkers, artists, men, women, youth and children from around the world will be participating. In this convention, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. The programs will include seminars on wide ranging topics, lectures, plays, religious songs, exhibitions, cultural programs, video shows, releases of new books, audio and video tapes, teaching workshops and demonstration classes. This convention will be a place where the entire Jain community will come together and after the convention will go back home with a message of unity and a feeling of pride of being Jains. continued on page 12 - Vantage Point From The Editor Vantage Point PRE This is going to be a great year - I guarantee. . Sulekh C. Jain, President of JAINA JAINISM is the oldest and independent religion of the world. However, we find in almost all books as well as texts it was founded by Lord Mahavir or it was founded by Lord Parsvanath. In reality, Lord Mahavir reorganized it. Some books go further and indicate that Jainism is nothing buta revolt against vediculture. The problem is that we had been taught through books written by foreign scholars (orothers influence by them) who wrote about Indian culture and religion from their own perspective and gave their interpretations. Really speaking, Jainism is an absolutely independent religion and isolder than vedic culture as is documented by several historians. con't. on page 16 - From The Editor KO 1993 began about three months ago and all indications are that it is going to be a great and an historical year for the Jain community in North America. JAINA and several Jain centers have planned a lot of programs, celebrations, poojas, youth camps, picnics and workshops, etc. Here is a sampling of some of the major events that will take place this year. 2010_02

Five great vows of Jain monks, 21 virtues of shravaks/ shravikas, and 18 papa sthanaks have been covered. Presently the group is discussing bahayantar and abhyantar tapas (internal and external activities). The children have also been taught how to do morning paccakkhanas (Namukkarsahim Mutthisahiam). Parents, please help your children in observing the simplest tapas at least two times a month. In the next session, the children will be taught simple sutras and will continue with other topics in Jain philosophy. Level three students have been preparing for the summer JAINA Convention in Pittsburgh, PA. Discussion began with various categories in Jainism: Nine Tatvas, five Anuvratas, five senses, ten virtues of a Jain monk, twelve vows of a Layman, five Vows, and six Universal Substances. It has been the group's plan to create a large display of posters and other things explaining these categories at the JAINA Convention.

The Prime Minister of Estonia, Mr. Maart Laar, will preside over the opening session of this conference. Other participants at the conference will include scholars from Australia, Finland, Japan, Norway, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States.

Jain Digest Shree Kamdar to visit U.S. and Canda Shree Rajendra Kamdar, a renowned young Jain scholar and orator on Jainism has kindly consented to visit the U.S.A. and Canada during the summer of 1993. He speaks in Gujarati, Hindi, and English. He is actively involved in various educational activities for making young Jains interested in understanding and practicing Jainism. Exact dates of his visits are being worked out now. Organizations interested in hosting his visit this summer may contact Hasmukh Shah, 1409 Rising Wind Court, Silver Spring, MD 20905, phone (301) 384-1746. a tradition of 'Respect for Knowledge and Character'. Some traditional Jains back home in India opposed our monks' travel abroad. The world has changed a lot in the past over 2500 years and is still changing, we don't know for better or worse. But one thing is certain that Jains have a tremendous responsibility to get its Universal Message of NonViolence to the wider world where innocent lives have been destroyed or made to suffer through weapons and where destruction of Nature's Balance in Environment continues. I have a following few humble suggestions to offer for an open community dialog: i. We abandon all "Prefixes', such as Acharya, Muni, Guru, Gurudev, His Holiness, etc. for all the monks and spiritual leaders outside India. We only use 'Ji' as a suffix showing respect. 2. There is no free lunch in U.S.A. for any one except for some Jain laymen and Monks. There is a need for change in this lop-sided topsy-turvy situation. We have all suffered begging for donations to give money to the visiting Monks, and others. A requirement of Community service needs to be established for this. Jain laymen will have to pay a price to an extent for their spiritual needs through supporting some. Preaching should be treated as a profession as in other religions like Christianity, Judaism,etc. But our preachers will have to 'practice' as well before they preach. The question is - What do they do during other hours when they are not preaching or conducting a ritual. 3. No Rewards/ Awards, like plaques, etc. be given to monks and spiritual leaders for their services. Some of the so-called Jain laymen leaders themselves have given awards to some monks for their own self aggrandizement. Jain monks are supposed to have renounced the world, and therefore, awards/ rewards are nothing but 'Parigraha'. It is a well known story of calling some one 'Rao Saheb', in expecta tion of being called 'Bhau Saheb' in return. 4. No monk should directly or indirectly 'Play Politics of Religion' for satisfying one's own Ego. Some of our monks have openly supported and participated in the dirty political game of religious parties involved in the Ram Janmabhumi Agitation which led to shameful destruction through violence. We are supposed to respect every other faith or belief without participating in any partisan way, including their rituals. 5. No monk or his created organization of which he is the sole arbiter should be given monetary assistance for accumulation of wealth over and above their decent living requirements. Money should be donated only to the public organizations, managed and operated by Jain laymen, and audited regularly. 6. It is difficult for many to observe Celibacy - in thought, words and deeds in this materialistic world. Those who cannot practice should get married and continue to do what they can do best. Finally, 'A stitch in time will save nine' or else we will also be a part of the story. Let us deal with the issue, fairly and squarely. F.J. Dalal Maryland Letters CODE OF CONDUCT FOR JAIN MONKS AND SPIRITUAL LEADERS Dear Editor, Jain hospitality, or Hospitality network Dear Editor, Dr. S. K. Jain, Editor-in-Chief, Jain Digest raised an issue many talk about in private conversations, but do not have guts to speak out in public. The issue is there and the same needs to be resolved with dignity and honor, as the same is not going to go away. It is, therefore, the responsibility of an apex organization like JAINA to appoint a committee of responsible senior members of the community right away to study the issue in its entirety and present its report at the Convention in Pittsburgh at one of its plenary sessions for a decision. Most of us have been raised in Many human beings are fussy eaters. Some of us are bound by our own likes and dislikes in food due to our upbringing, custom, tradition, religion, palate, or medical (allergic) considerations. One can usually accomodate one's dietary needs when at home or with friends and relatives who know our limitations or preferences. But in a society where meat, fish, and fowl are staple parts of the diet, vegetarians find it most difficult to find suitable meals once out Jain Education Interational 2010_02

Jain Digest the vibrant Jain community through the ages as detailed in the next paragraph. In the context of India's vast and richly complex heritage, the Jain doctrines of Ahimsa (noninjury to all beings), compassion, tolerance, respect for all religions, nirvana, moksha (salvation/soteriology), many-sidedness (anekantavada/ syadvada);and above all the "three jewels":right faith, right knowledge, and right conductallstand out as messages and beacons of "sweetness and light" for all the peoples of the world, everywhere, for all times. side their homes or away from their vegetarian friends and relatives. When traveling, Jains encounter serious difficulties to locate suitable eating places. This difficulty, I belive, can be solved if Jains across North America would set up a network of families who would be willing to host a traveling Jain for a few days. Would such a system work? A friend of mine with whom I shared this proposal expressd doubts about its feasibility. He gave several reasons: (1) In many families, husband and wife both work; they may not have the time or inclination to entertain strangers after a hard day's work, (2) many Jains are professionals-engineers, doctors, professors, dentists, lawyers, acountants--some of whom are very status-conscious; they may not want to invite Jains from other walks of life into their houses, and (3) other Jains may not consider this proposal attractive because they have nothing to gain. These may be valid reasons or objections for refusing to participate in a Jain Hospitality Network. But life is full of risks; without risks there are no rewards. By giving respect to a traveling Jain who is not a relative or friend, one may find a friendship or relationship. I believe this splendid idea is worth exploring. Sushil Jain Windsor, Ontario Jains should inspire World Dear Editor, Browsing recently through some choice Jain literature and lore at the residence of Dr. Narpat S. Jain and Mrs. Vasundhara Jain in Pittsburgh, I had the good fortune of reading and rereading the excellent speeches on Jainism, delivered at the Parliament/ Congress of World Religions held at Chicago a century ago. These addresses beautifullyand lucidly explain the philosophy, spiritual practices, and contributions of Dr. Mohan Lal Sharma Slippery Rock, PA Jain Digest--is it egosatisfying? Dear Editor: I am a regular reader of the Jain Digest. I find it very interesting. However, it is regrettable that, on occasion, it seems to satisfy egos of certain individuals by publicizing their achievements beyond reasonable length. For example, in your previous issue I was amazed to see so many pages depicting the Chairman of World Community Services. I find this simply egotistic. M. Shah Queens, NY and to forge unity of Jains on the basis of enlightened understanding of their invaluable heritage. The Institute was founded in 1986 as a registered charitable institution. It invited suggestions from leading Jains, scholars, and wellwishers of Jainology towards its growth and propagation of Jainism in the interest of religion, Jains, and humanity. All activities of the Institute are funded by donations. The Institute launched series of lectures by Dr. Kumarpal Desai, an eminent scholar, propagating the tenets of Ahimsa and Anekantvad. It also published news-letters. During this period the Oshwal and Navnat Vanik Association of the UK had approached HRH Prince Phillip to get Jainism included into the network of International Sacred Literature Trust for the translation of the scriptures of the world's major religions into English. Eventually, these two organizations, in association with India's Bhagwan Mahavir Memorial Samiti (under the proposed parent-body Jain Sacred Literature Trust), submitted "Jain Declaration on Nature" at the Buckingham Palace, London, in the presence of eminent Jains from all over the world. To commence the work on the translation of 'Tattvartha Sutra" and implement other programs, it was agreed that the activities of the proposed Jain Sacred Literature Trust be merged with the Institute of Jainology. It set an excellent example of unity and the beginnings of a new era of cooperation between Jain organizations and individuals. The Institute has since been restructured to include on its Board of Trustees, Jains from the United Kingdom, Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. It is truly international in its character to forge good relations, not only with sister Jain organizations, but also with other religious faiths and people of the world. The "Jain Declaration of Nature," drafted by Dr.L.M. Singhvi in association with other learned scholars, is in demand in different lan (Editor's note: I appreciate your concern.

Gltook Reviews LATLAR To Light One Candle: A Book of Universal Prayers by C. Rosenfield, P. Chitrabhanu Review by Manubhai Bhatt, Columbus, Ohio 761-7682 or Jain Meditation International Center at (212) 362-6483. An Introduction to Jainism by Bharat S. Shah, M.D. price: $15 Publisher: Setubandh Publications, 1 Lawson Lane, Great Neck, NY 11023 (Telegraph review) A recently published book containing universal prayers and mantras from different religions, including Jainism. This is an excellent example of what all great prophets have said, namely following the path of righteousness, forgiving ourselves and others, realizing the Self, and offering blessings and peace to the world. These are universal prayers, stanzas and mantras: the words which have been revered for thousandsof years as sacred because they were uttered by saintly individuals in the fullness of self-realization or God-consciousness. Universal in spirit, these prayers remind us that "EKAM SAT VIPRA BAHUDHA VADANTI" (Rig Veda) or Truth is one, expressed in many different ways. The sounds of a mantra have the power to harmonize and healthe body and mind. In the audio cassette accompanying the book, Acharya Roop Verma's beautiful singing of mantras teaches us accurate pronunciation of each mantra. This feature and the very simple language of the book make this book and cassette unit extremely useful not only for adults but also for transmitting this great heritage to our children. This is a good collection for your personal library. For those who wish to order now, or for more information, they may contact the author, Clare Rosenfield, 4 Grasshill Road, Hartsdale, NY 10530, Tel: (914) (Telegraph review) A simple introduction to Jainism (in English), especially for the new generation of Jains, written in a clear and friendly style, full of explanations, and a gradualstepwise development of the functional principles of this great religion...." From the publisher's ordering information. (Editor's note: I, personally, believe that this book should be illuminating for most of us who want to learn about Jainism. It is an excellent textbook for a pathshala.) Jain Education Interational 2010_02

Youth Corner A NEED FOR "YOUNG JAINS INTERNATIONAL' (YJI) by F.J. Dalal The Universal 'Message of Non-violence' by Mahavir was for the entire humanity, not for a chosen few in India or Indians. It was not meant for circulation within the four walls of Jain Temples and Halls. THE GOAL: The time has come to transfer the stewardship of promoting Jain Philosophy and Principles from traditional, dogmatic, and ritualistic leadership living in the past to the futuristic rationalist caring and committed young practicing (not preaching) visionaries. In the fast changing world, the exhausted force of socalled Jain leaders giving lip sympa Vantage Point -continued from page I Parliament of World's Religions (August 28-Sept. 5) First Parliament of World's Religions was held at Chicago in 1893. In the history of the world, it was the first meeting of the representations of major religions as equals without regard to demographics. One-hundred years ago, Jainism was represented by Mr. V.R. Gandhi. This year, again, Jains the world over are joining the major world religions in the celebration of this historic even in Chicago. A wide variety of programs have been planned including the participation of Jain leaders, monks and scholars, exhibitions, screening of videos and films, seminars and workshops, etc. One-hundred years ago, against many odds, one lonely Jain, 2010_02 Jain Digest thy and shedding crocodile tears for the future of culture, religion, and the upcoming generation is a 'continuing journey in futility.' The 'Jain way of life' can be lived in all spheres of socio-economic-political activities. National and International disputes can be resolved by Negotiations, not through violence, terrorism, and wars. Science and Technology are compatible with nature's balance and healthy environment. All living species including human, bird, animal, fish, etc. must be considered sacred. Safer and carefree existence can be regained by eliminating all harmful weapons and cruelty towards weaker lives. Vegetarianism is healthy for body and mind and can eliminate the man-made curse of hunger in the civilized (?) society. ORGANIZATION: 1. Young Jain International will be a Federation of affiliated units. Major metropolitan areas will be the potential units, e.g. London, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto, Mr. V.R. Gandhi, presented Jainism and its philosophy to the world community. Now, 50,000 V.R. Gandhi's (there are roughly 50,000 Jains in North America) make their home here. So our participation in this event has to be of a scale and grandeur benefiting our population here. As you can see, much is going to happen this year. This is just a glimpse. Details of many of these events have been, are being and will be published in the Jain Digest. Many people, centers and organizations are working hard to make these celebrations meaningful, enjoyable and beneficial. Let us all mark our calendars, take time off and bring family, friends and relatives to these events. No matter how hard we work, it is your vote and your presence that will count. I guarantee you, you will benefit and have lots of fun. This is going to be a great and memorable year. Jai Jinendra 13 Bombay, Delhi, Ahmedabad, Nairoby, Singapore, etc. YJI's head quarters will be in London. 2. All young adults above 18 can be the members by paying the annual subscription of $10 or its equivalent. 3. The present quarterly 'Young Jains' will be the worldwide communication link. 4. YJI will have an International Convention of Representatives every even year. 5. A YJI 'Ad Hoc' committee be formed at the JAINA Convention in Pittsburgh, PA., U.S.A. for organizing units around the world, drafting Constitution, and deciding the venue and agenda of the First World Jain Youth Convention in 1994. ACTIVITIES: 1. YJI and its affiliated units shall not duplicate any activity of the existing Jain organization in the area. Wherever possible, the activities should be coordinated and conducted jointly. 2. Outreach program will be the main thrust. It will actively participate and work with local organizations of vegetarians, environmentalists, humanists, pacifists, and others with similar objectives. 3. YJI will join with other organizations in lobbying for changes leading to the non-violent peaceful existence for each living being. CONCLUSION: The ideas and suggestions from all concerned can be thoroughly discussed and a historic decision can be taken to promote a dynamic worldwide organization of Jain Young Adults. I will be glad to assist in every manner possible, if a concerted initiative is taken by the core youth group at the JAINA convention including the representatives of Young Jains of U.K. Youth Summer Camp August 13-15 St. Louis Wyman campsite Call Dinesh Shah at (314) 537-2643 for info.

JAINA would also like to thank Popat & Kalpana Savla of Pasadena CA, and Harilal & Ranjan Dedhia of Yorba Linda CA, for printing thousands of brochures and envelopes for "Project MAP". If your name has been omitted, please accept our apology and write to me at the following address so that we can publish your name in the next issue of the Jain Digest: Dhiraj H Shah, MD Chairman, World Community Service of JAINA 135 Morningside Dr Grand Island NY 14072 From The Editor- con't. from page 1 The reader may for example refer to a beautifully written book, Jainism - The oldest Living Religion, by Dr. Jyoti P. Jain, P.V. Research Institute, I.T.I. Road, Varanasi-5, India, second edition. Jainism is found to have existed throughout the prehistoric and historical times under different names - beginning with the Rishab sect, to various other names until Jain or Jina religion. Jainism is not the religion of any one particular community. it is indeed universal. May I suggest that some of our scholars may take the lead to present the history of Jainism in our forthcoming convention at Pittsburgh. Perhaps by presenting poster sessions presented through posters in assigned rooms at the convention as may be mandated by time limitations - on various activities, we can be better educated. 2010_02 Jain Digest JAINA CONVENTION NEWS Exhibits at Convention will win prize JAINA is planning to give a prize to the best dispay/exhibition at the JAINA Convention in Pittsburgh.
