PAINTING A NEW FUTURE
April 15-17, 2005. Evanston, Illinois
Jain, the Dean of Kellogg School of Management, invited Jain leaders from across USA and Canada to a historic first summit to discuss the future of Jainism in North America at the Kellogg School of Business in Chicago. The goal of the summit was to apply Kellogg's leadership atmosphere, innovative thinking culture, and powerful management concepts to develop a strategic plan to bring Jainism to a new level in North America in the next 10 years.
In August 2005 Sky Digital began broadcasting AASTHA TV on channel EPG 828 in the UK and in September AASTHA became available in the USA on DIRECTV, Inc. the fastest growing digital service provider. Both companies are seeking to expand the South Asian programming lineup. AASTHA's comprehensive, authentic broadcasting will now both satisfy needs of the spiritually homesick South Asians in these countries and perhaps provide a similar service to the sometimes spiritually starved or simple curious westerners. The multiyear agreement with AASTHA brings viewers the top-rated programs that have made AASTHA India's number one spiritual network and preferred network to Asian Indians in Asia, Africa, Australia and Europe. The AASTHA lineup features spiritual discourses, socio-spiritual-cultural ceremonies and events, meditation techniques and devotional music. It charts the holy places of pilgrimage, elucidates on traditional festivals and focuses on Indian vedic sciences like Ayurveda and yoga. 2005 also saw the beginning of locally originated programming being aired as well.
n hopes of reviewing the long-term future of Jainism in North America, JAINA's Long Range Planning Committee began work to analyze
the trends and patterns of Jains in the United States and Canada. Dipak

Kirit Mehta, AASTHA's chief executive officer said of the US deal, "We have joined the DIRECTV platform to be offered alongside other leading South Asian programming that DIRECTV is bringing to United States. We look forward to the relationship and with this expansion we will strive to satisfy the deeply felt need of spirituality from the vast community of Indian residents in America.
