Teachers' Notes
It will be useful to start the school lessons by saying Jay Jinendra to all children. Talk about respect and how one shows respect. Talk about namaste as well. Explain that namaste means "I bow down to you." It is a sign of respect for the other person. Children learn by example. Show them how to join hands and bow slightly.
You may mention that the words Jinas, Jineshvars, Jinendra and Arihants are all nearly synonymous
