Dear Sadharmiks,
Jai Jinendra! Pranam!
We are trying to accommodate every possible situation to serve you our best during the convention. Your participation is indeed important to grace this occasion. In case if the four days of the convention clash with your other commitments, and if you find it difficult to adjust your schedule around the convention dates, then you also have the option to register for a single day or just two days at a discounted rate. Please check the link below for more details.
There are numerous cultural programs lined up for the upcoming JAINA Convention. A musical extravaganza awaits you with a message of forgiveness and an engaging performance. Please check the promo video of “Kshama Virasya Bhushanam” – a larger-than-life musical ballet on the ten lives of 23rd Tirthanakar Prabhu Shri Parshwanath, which will be presented during the convention.
Similarly, JAINA Education Committee has scheduled their informative sessions on three consecutive days. Check their detailed schedule below and add them to your itinerary for the convention.
Do you know that we have a dedicated session just for Pathshalas across all Jain centers during the convention? Pathshala Teachers Conference is scheduled for Friday, Jun 30th, 2023, at 3 pm. We invite you to give a presentation about your center's Pathshala. In case you cannot attend, we can show your presentation to all the attendees. Please check more details below and submit a small Pathshala survey form that helps us serve you better.
JAINA Women’s Committee is all set to present a motivating show at the JAINA Convention 2023, where two women – Dr. Rumadevi from Barmer, Rajasthan, and Yogita Shah from NASA, will share their inspiring success stories against all the odds life threw at them.
I would like to draw your kind attention to the current edition of Jain Digest, in which the section editor Reena Shah has narrated the magnanimous life journey of an inspirational sadguru Shri Pravinchandra Mehta, fondly known as Param Pujya Pappaji, who passed away at the age of 97 on February 17, 2023. Please read the whole story below.

Shri Premacharyaji: The Inspiring Sadguru by Reena Shah
Shri Pravinchandra Mehta was well known as Premacharyaji among mumukshus. He was an enlightened Master, a spiritual visionary, and an ardent devotee of Shrimad Rajchandra. Fondly known as Param PujyaPappaji and Pujyashree, his glance radiated love. His presence was enveloped with peace, love, and purity, and his discourse was a call to realize one’s true nature.
Premacharyaji passed away on February 17, 2023, at the age of ninety-seven. In this article, our Section Editor Reena Shah tells us more about the life of this luminary. Reena says, “This is a humble attempt to briefly record the magnanimous journey of a Param Purush, who has been an inspirational SADGURU for many and helped me understand the depth of his purushaartha, compassion, love, peace, and gyaan.”
