Since its inception in 1981, JAINA has become a premier organization serving not only the Jain community residing in North America but also many people around the globe through its humanitarian, educational and interfaith work. In addition, JAINA has become influential in promoting the teachings of the JAIN philosophy of nonviolence, tolerance, contentment, and ecological harmony. It is indeed hard to imagine Jain landscape of North America without JAINA.

Biennial JAINA Conventions in the past have drawn thousands and provided them with the opportunity to learn from eminent Jain scholars from around the world. The 13th Biennial convention at Santa Clara, CA is going to be, I am sure, a very successful event- thanks to the efforts put in by the dedicated volunteers from the Jain Center of Northern California.
