The YJ Calendar
By the Current Committee Members
closer to attaining the main Jain goal of Mokshaabundant, infinite, eternal bliss.
Young Jains closed the show with a very patriotic and uplifting dance, which left the audience on a high. But it wasn't over yet... a few mouth-watering dhokras and tasty mithai later, there was still time for a disco, for those that had caught the dance fever from the Young Jains dancers!

To sum up, YJ's Diwali events are faster than a Catherine Wheel and will leave you feeling higher than a rocket.

QUIZ NIGHTS The Friday night events have been part of Young Jains long before I (Kavit Haria) first attended an event in 2002. In fact, they were what made me attend more and more events because they were such modern, well-organised and interactive events where I could have fun learning and make new friends. Since then, have helped in organising a few events and more recently working with Roopal to organise game shows that are modelled on existing television shows to allow participants to learn more, play more and meet more friends.
To date, we've had three gameshows called The MBA game, Wheel of Fortune and Who Wants To Be A Jainnaire? It has been fun, exciting to prepare and present and inspiring to learn more as we prepare questions.
The purpose of the gameshows was first to include content previously covered at the Young Jains shibir in April 2007 so that those who attended the games after the shibir could refresh and learn things they missed out on and for those who attended for the first time or without attending the shibir to learn some important concepts. Another objective of the gameshow was to help use the event and its interactive and true YJ-style to bring in new friends, friends of friends and other people who would be interested in taking part in what YJ has to offer.
NEWSLETTER The YJ Newsletter is a high quality, colourful, fun and informative quarterly publication that provides the community with the latest news, reviews of YJ events, information about forthcoming events, feature articles and articles about Jain dharma. The newsletter was the first regular Jain publication of its kind in the UK, and is still going strong. It is an invaluable communication tool for the Jain community.
