Jai Jinendra!
On behalf of Federation of Jain Associations in North America (JAINA), it is a great pleasure and privilege for me to welcome everyone to the 16th Biennial JAINA Convention. This is indeed a great day for us, since JAINA is holding a Convention in the South for the first time, making it possible for Jains of Southern part of USA to participate in the JAINA convention.
art of USA to
"Live and Help Live" is a timely theme which inspires us to help others. The 16th Biennial JAINA Convention at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston is going to be a great event due to the tremendous efforts by members of the Jain Society of Houston. An excellent line up of speakers and scholars is planned.
On behalf of JAINA, I want to thank the Board of Trustees and the Executive Committee of the Jain Society of Houston along with countless volunteers for hosting this convention. Their dedication is matched only by the generosity of local and national donors, who have made this convention successful.
