FOUNDER'S MESSAGE
- The purpose of religion and social values is to enable individuals to find inner peace, true happiness, confidence, contentment, a positive attitude, and the ability to collaborate with society, thereby promoting inner peace and security.
- For the renunciate or the sadhu, Jain tradition shows a way to progress towards enlightenment and liberation.
- For the householder, it emphatically encourages prosperity and security for society through individual productivity, connectivity, and scientific capability.
- Jain way of life aims to enable an individual to feel secure and content, while cultivating awareness and compassion, leading to harmony with oneself and the world.
- Jainism is not just non-violence, nor is it simply limiting an individual’s food habits and lifestyle.
- A true Jain is defined not by birth, but fundamentally by adherence to values of Education, Enterprise and Ethics.
