JAIN DIGEST
We aim to expand our Jain studies programs in current institutions such as Florida International University (FIU), Claremont Lincoln University (CLU), Ahimsa Center, while expanding to new ones such as University of Northern Texas (UNT) and University of California Irvine (UCI). Expand our education services to our youth and adults through our internship and scholarships. We look forward to meeting you at the upcoming JAINA Convention July 2-5th in Atlanta, GA with the theme of "Jainism: World of Nonviolence". With over 2,800 registrants so far, the 2015 JAINA Convention is sure to be an unforgettable experience.
To keep up with the increasing demands of our community, we aim to re-examine JAINA's organizational structure to support larger landmark projects such as creating a Jain Education & Youth Center, Jain University / Research Center, Jain hospital, Jain Entrepreneur Fund and many others. We would are provide greater services for two following expanding segments, our seniors and mixed marriage couples.
Lastly, we would like to thank you, our beloved community members. It is only with your continued support that we are able to provide more services and opportunities, year after year.
Sincerely,

Prayer
The prayer is the universally accepted mode of communication between the devotee and the divine, practiced in all religious traditions of our planet. We find it prevalence universal and international because no elaborate preparations, either in the form of materials or in the form of methods is required. The only real instrument required is to approach Him, is divine love, not tainted by selfish motive or falsehood.
Prayer heals and helps the devotee in his spiritual progress as he directly communicates with the divine. Mass prayers are helpful for all mankind as they produce vibrations of peace, love and well-being of all creatures. Prayer is the best instrument for the individual.
May we all practice this simple and beneficial religious practice in day to day life and derive immense benefit from it.
