MESSAGE
On behalf of the Consulate General of India. I extend warm felicitations to the Jain Society of Houston Inc. on the auspicious occasion of Pratishtha Mahotsav on November
Pratishtha Mahotsav is a reminder of how fasth and devotion can bind a community to its roots and provide spiritual sustenance. The significant contribution of Jainism to Indian culture has been well-chronicled. and its fundamental tenet of non-violence continues to have great relevance in our troubled times
Once again. I wish you a most happy and memorable Pratishtha Mahotsav

Dear Kishor Doshi:
I must thank you for your invitation to the Pratistha ceremony at Houston, but I am sincerely sorry that owing to previous commitments I am not in a position to accept your invitation.
Indeed religion aims at enhancing spiritual knowledge and human virtues. I am sure that the temple being constructed over there will help achieve this ultimate objective.
Jain religion is a great religion and Jain philosophy is very noble and elevating. It is a matter of pride and joy for us over here that you all are so deeply concerned and active about religion and cultire. So far away from here.
I wish that the 'Pratistha' ceremony will have all the success and the centre for which you all are working will go a long way in providing inspiration and guidance to the younger generation about religion and culture.
Yours sincerely,
