We were born in the same year as JAINA and being one of the founding members of JAINA, we have been fortunate to have a key role in developing, nurturing and growth of JAINA. At the Jain Center of Houston, we are being mindful of the needs of the community by providing ideal setting for practicing Jainism in all major traditions and sects.
"Live and Help Live"
Please make it a plan to visit the Jain Center of Houston while you are in Houston. The theme of the Convention is "Live and Help Live", and we want everyone to follow and help others. JAINA and JSH have worked very hard over the last two years to bring to you a very exciting and interesting Convention. Over 200+ volunteers have worked thousands of hours to plan and prepare the most unique experience over three and a half days. In this Convention, we have tried to incorporate comprehensive program format with subject matter for all ages and all interests. Please spend a few minutes to review the program guide and plan your time.
JUAshish
The program is crafted around the Convention Theme to address key aspects of Jain way of life in North America and the Western world. You will find lectures, seminars, workshops, demonstrations and field trips addressing religious, social, cultural and professional lifestyles in the Jain context. The program also includes an academic symposium, an on-site temple, and various cultural and entertainment programs including Jains Got Talent, InterJain Center cultural program and programs by Indian Idols and other professional artists.
While we have tried our best to meet the needs of all of you, it would be a miracle if we have not fallen short somewhere. We apologize if we have not met all your expectations and for any mistakes made. In the spirit of our Jain tradition we pray for forgiveness for our In the spirit of our Jain tradition we faults - Michhami Dukkadam.
