internet facilities to deliver these lectures effectively. In future ISJS plans to use more such eminent speakers who find it difficult to travel to India for two lectures only. Further, this proved to be an extremely cost effective solution to have eminent faculty members on ISJS panel. ISJS salutes the speakers to take time at odd hours and deliver these lectures. ISIS also salutes Mahidol University, Bangkok, Mangalayatan University, Aligarh and Teerthanker Mahaveer, University Moradabad to provide excellent internet and conference room facilities. 4. Prof Jeff Long from Elizabethtown College

India programs Prof. Jeff Long, author of the popular book Jainism and an expert on Anekānta doctrine was with the ISSJS 2011 program from June 12 till 16, 2011. He delivered four lectures in Delhi and joined the participants to pilgrimage of Hastinapur where he delivered a talk also. His lectures were greatly admired by all the participants. He was accompanied by his wife Mrs. Mahua Long who also actively participated in interactions with the ISSJS participants. ISJS salutes Prof. Long and hope that we will have lasting association for mutual benefit. 5. Meditation Camp at Mahaveer Bhawan, Ashok
