Jai Jinendra!
Welcome to the 12th Biennial JAINA Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio, hosted by the Federation of Jain Associations of North America (JAINA) and the Jain Center of CincinnatiDayton.
The JAINA Biennial Convention is renowned as a unique socio-religious event and provides an opportunity for attendees from around the world to bring their families together for spiritual advancement, friendship, education, and cultural activities. As your hosts, Jain Center of Cincinnati-Dayton and JAINA are excited to welcome you to Cincinnati! We hope you will participate in and benefit from the enriching educational and cultural programs we have planned.
As we showcase Jainism...the Art of Living one of our primary focuses has been the youth of our community. Our youth are the key to maintaining the heritage and traditions we as Jains have and this year we are pleased to offer many for-the-first time events. We have yoga & meditation for the youth led by the scholars and monks of the Jain community, a service project, interactive and educational seminars for each age group separately and much more.
We are pleased to have Jain scholars and monks from around the world to share their knowledge of Jainism and spend their time with us. The exchange of knowledge and ideas between all the attendees with various backgrounds enhances a deeper understanding of Jainism.
We are thankful to all the dignitaries, keynote speakers, and Jain Centers for participating and offering their time and services to make the 2003 JAINA Convention a success.
We hope you enjoy your visit to Cincinnati and the 2003 JAINA Convention, Jainism...the Art of Living.
