Respected JAINA 2013 Convention Attendees,
Jai Jinendra and Pranam,
On behalf of the Jain Society of Greater Detroit (JSGD) and its five hundred Jain family members, we are excited to welcome you to the 17th Biennial JAINA Convention in Novi, MI.
Our Society was founded thirty years ago by less than fifty members. With strong faith, commitment and generosity of our members, we have been able to develop our Jain temple on a six acre site in Farmington Hills, MI. The temple site has room to grow and can be developed to accommodate a Jain school, senior center and a residence for visiting scholars. Our temple provides an ideal setting for practicing Jainism in for the multiple traditions and sects. We invite you to visit the temple for darshan, meditation and/or puja. Our JSGD members will be more than happy to accommodate your needs and make your visit an enlightening one.
The theme of this year's convention is Jainism: The Global Impact. Detroit is known as the automotive capital of the world and holds a global appeal. This makes Detroit a perfect location for this year's convention as we have attendees and speakers, scholars, monks and nuns from all across the globe.
JAINA and JSGD members and volunteers have worked hard to make your experience unique and most satisfying. All four days of this convention are designed to cater to all ages and interests with a strong focus on Jain teachings. We encourage you and your family to actively participate and take full advantage of our comprehensive and extensive program. The program embodies the theme of Jainism: The Global Impact, in the planned lectures, seminars, workshops, exhibits and field trips. The program is designed to offer something unique to all attendees. The outstanding team of volunteers has incorporated many unique and exciting items including variety of Jain food and entertainment.
Over the years, the Jain Society of Greater Detroit has remained a strong, close-knit community. Our Jain Center has grown stronger through our shared faith, spirituality, and commitment of many individuals and families. We are so honored to host you in the Detroit area as we all come together to celebrate our devotion to Jainism and its global impact across the world.
