“Jainism is more than a religion it is a way of living, in which we honour and value lite, perspective, honesty, and purity. Jainism is part of each idea, action, task, and interaction”.
Jim Fredericks “'India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only."
- Mark Twain
