15th Biennial JAINA Convention 2009
2009 PARLIAMENT OF THE WORLD'S RELIGIONS Melbourne, Australia
"Make a World of Difference: Hearing each other; Healing the earth" is the theme of the 2009 Parliament of the World's Religions scheduled to meet in Melbourne, Australia, December 3-9, 2009. Naresh Jain and Hema Pokharna, members of JAINA Interfaith Committee, serve as trustees on the board of the Parliament. They both were instrumental in bringing a sizeable Jain delegation to 2004 Parliament of World's Religions in Barcelona, Spain which brought significant attention to Jains through the programs and exhibitions they created.
The Jain community plans to have a significant presence at the 2009 Parliament of World's Religions. This will be an opportunity to inspire the delegates with core Jain values and care about life and living, and empowering each other, using alternatives to violence. For additional information, contact Dr. Hema Pokharna at hemapokharna.phd@gmail.com or 773/368-1656. www.parliamentofreligions.org

Food for Laughter:
"I need to get some organic apples for my husband. Are these apples sprayed with toxic insecticides or poisonous chemicals?" a wife asked a novice Produce Manager at a Farmer's Market. "No madam, we don't do that here. You will have to do that yourself," he responded.
