Young Jains of America (YJA) 10th Biennial 2012 YJA Convention
Dear Friends,
Jai Jinendra. Jain Society of Tampa Bay (JSTB) is proud to sponsor YJA Convention 2012. We are thrilled to welcome attendees and guests from USA, Canada, India, UK and Australia. In October 2011, YJA and JSTB made a firm commitment to support and improve each other's organizations. From October through today, we have been able to support YJA financially, voluntarily and many other aspects including the Raas Garba fundraiser on April 21st, 2012. In return, YJA has brought an increased energy to JSTB activities among youth.
Our Sangh's members are very excited to participate in this biennial event. We hope that this is the beginning of a lasting partnership between our Sangh and YJA. Through our partnership, we are confident in YJA's ability to help bring Jainism to the next generation with a combination of spiritual, social and religious activities.
Young Jains in America and around the world are tomorrow's torch bearers of Jainism. A convention of this magnitude provides a conduit for nurturing the leaders who will carry with them the Jain principles, Jain values and Jain way of life. It's a challenge to transform our community and our culture. Get out and get involved! Don't forget to give back! Help the needy! Educate the masses and demystify the Jain values!
We invite you to visit the Tampa Jain Sangh at any time. We have built Shikharbandhi Jain Temple three years ago. Our Pathshala is held twice a month. We do Snatrapuja once a month and lectures by Samjiniji from Orlando, FL. We are a small sangh with 140 members
We wish you a productive weekend full of many positive learning, networking and leadership development activities.
Best regards on behalf of Jain Society of Tampa Bay.
