My dear Friends --
Jai Jinendra ... Jai Mahavir ...
I am pleased to share my warm greetings and love with every individual who is participating in the 12th Biennial Convention of JAINA. With your understanding, dedication, donations and unconditional committed services, JAINA has become one unique organization with the strength of unity and wealth of Ahimsa, Anekantavad, and various services to suffering living beings without any discrimination.
Every year, JAINA is getting larger and stronger with all the members' dedication, donations and services. With biennial conferences, JAINA brings families together from all over the world to have sadharmic vatsalya, and provides opportunities to learn Dharma of Non-Violence in essence and form. Jain philosophers, scholars, learned teachers, and dignitaries from all beliefs disseminate original tattvas of Jain Dharma to seekers. JAINA is always busy helping people, animals, and those suffering in earthquakes, draughts, floods, or wars.
To strengthen JAINA, I request all the Jains living in North America to participate in the JAINA conventions whole-heartedly and with commitment. United we stand; divided we fall. In each town, let there be one Jain center - pooling all resources for greater depth, expansion of coverage, inclusion of diversity with relativity of thinking. To create another parallel center representing a divided segment of Jains will be a great injury to the unity of Jains and an unspoken hostility and competition among members of the main local center. Let us not allow other influences to divide us with sectarian beliefs.
JAINA is our strength, our source of inspiration and our means of understanding, and it is our duty to support it with heart, head and hand. This will keep intact the unity and strength of the principles of Bhagwan Mahavir.
Love and Blessings,
Chitralkanu
