COMMITTEE NEWS:
Animated Jain Stories on CD/VCD/DVD or VHS TAPE
After establishing JAINA Library, JAINA Education System, and Series of Jain Pictorial books in the field of Jain education, JAINA has decided to work on another milestone in instilling Jain Sanskar to our children at very early age in their life. JAINA under JAINA Publication Committee (JPC) has started an ambitious project of publishing Series of Jain Sanskar Animated
Stories on DVDs. Each animated story will be 15 to 30 minutes. First such story of forgiveness
(Kshamapana or Kshamadan) is ready. It represents the spirit of Paryushan/Daslakshana. The Kshamadan
theme of this DVD is to illustrate the story of forgiveness between King Udayan and King Thoreret
Chandpradyot to inspire us to follow the same principle of forgiveness in our life.
JAINA publication committee plans to bring out series of such stories in future in DVDs. The production cost as well duplication and distribution cost of 1000 DVDs will come to about $8 for each DVD. JAINA will distribute this DVD for a generous donation of US $9 and up. Many of you and grand parents will love your children to learn Jain tradition and values. Giving them a gift of DVD would be a good start in their life. Therefore, JAINA and I encourage you to offer generous donation so that we will continue this project for our future generation to come. Raising of this
funds will help us to take up on the next animated DVD and that will ultimately lead us to build the Library of DVDs for Jain Sanskarin every Jain home.
Please, fill in the generation donation form attached here and mail it to Dr. Premchand B. Gada, Chairperson, or contact me at (806) 794-4777 or send me an email at prem@jainworld.com for further information
