Dear Dharmabandhu,
"Live and Help Live"

Shubhaashirvad,
It is a matter of great pleasure that the 16th biannual conference of JAINA is being held in Houston, USA, one of the famous modern commercial cities of America, between July 1 to 4, 2011, with social, religious and cultural variety programs. It is also a matter of pleasure that a souvenir is being brought out to keep alive the memory of the conference. The leaders and statesmen of our Jain community got together in 1981 and started a Jain social organization in the Jain centers of North America to augment mutual love, trust, goodwill and unity among Jains and to enhance social and religious awareness among them. This organization, born with the aim of propagating Jain principles like ahimsa, anekantha, non-possession, peace, fraternity, compassion, mercy and such human values has brought together the leaders of all religions on one platform and prompted them to feel like members of one family and communicate with that sentiment. By such activities it has grown as the single great organization of Jains. We are all the worshippers of one veetharaga Bhagavaan. We are all eager to spread the feelings of veetharaga sarvajnas for the welfare of the world. The commendable and high religious, social and cultural activities of the organization have attracted the attention of the young as well as the old. Let us hope that the organization, born with a lofty aim, will engage in more and more meaningful activities and thereby uphold the unity and fraternity of the community. Let us come together to promote a life of fraternity and harmony. Let us recite, along with the members of the JAINA organization, the mantra of Peace. Let us foster the great tree of Ahimsa by watering it with religious unity.
Bhadram Shubham Mangalam.
