Sharma Consul General भारत May 29, 1998 Dear Mr. Shah, I am delighted to learn that the Jain Society of Greater Detroit will celebrate the opening ceremony of its new temple on July 3, 1998. Jainism is one of the oldest religions of the world and the first religion to propagate the concept of non-violence. It has made a significant contribution to the development of Indian ethos and civilisation. Jain philosophy of showing respect for all forms of life is particularly relevant in the present times. The emphasis on simple living preached by Jainism can contribute a great deal in saving the world from environmental degradation Jain community has extraordinary achievements to its credit in several fields. Dilwara and many other temples bear silent testimony to the highest standards of craftsmanship achieved under Jain patronage. Bhama Shah who stood by Maharana Pratap in the most difficult times will always serve as an ideal example of patriotism. I am sure that the Jain community of Greater Detroit through its achievements will do India proud by the contribution they are making to the American society and to the development of Indo-US friendship. I wish the ceremony every success. Yours sizcerely, The Sharma) Mr. Vastupal B. Shah Co-Chairman Jain Society of Greater Detroit 29278 W. 12 Mile Road Farmington Hills, MI 48334 For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org Jain Education International
