Then and Now I started out by describing the beginning years of our Center and the folder as one of our earliest educational activity for children. Our Center has now successfully organized regional youth convention as well as the Pathshala Teachers Convention. Distribution of educational materials is an ongoing activity. At a personal level, the weekly Swadhayaya is an immensely rewarding educational activity in advancing the understanding of Jainism, providing glimpses of the vast richness of Jain philosophy, and showing ways in which this can impact daily life.
The Future
Jain Study Center will continue its admirable educational programs through Pathshala teachers conventions, educational materials, the Internet, visits for scholars, and its regular activities. These activities meet the individual needs of its members and contribute to Jain information nationally and internationally. Innovations will continue in the Jain Study Center.
