It is with great pleasure that I extend my congratulations and support on the occasion of the 15th Biennial Jain Associations in North America (JAINA) Convention taking place at the Jain Center of Southern California (Los Angeles Jain Temple), Buena Park, California, from July 2-5, 2009.
The theme for the 2009 convention, "Ecology - The Jain Way," meaningfully demonstrates how the timeless principles of the Jain Religion so positively inspire respect for our environment, compassion for all living beings, and worldwide humanitarian activities. I especially applaud JAINA for offering at the convention, for the first-time, a special Youth Program with separate speakers who will explain and address the theme and aspects of Jain Religion for different youth age groups.
Ja
Since its founding in 1981, JAINA has provided an exceptional forum for fostering friendship and unity as a federation of 68 Jain organizations - representing more than 100,000 Jains living in the USA and Canada. It is especially noteworthy that JAINA functions through the core services of more than 300 volunteers on behalf of the entire Jain community of North America sharing positive life values with others.
JAINA, its dedicated committee members, President Dilip V. Shah, and many hardworking volunteers, are all to be commended for organizing such a vital, visionary, convention that will provide a significant educational activity and lead to a better understanding of Jainism.
In joyful celebration and with warmest wishes for ongoing success,
