WELCOME to the FIRST issue of the eJain NewsFlash!

From the President

Following the successful launch of eJain Digest in the fall of 2009, I am pleased to bring you the first issue of eJain NewsFlash; a shorter version of the digest focusing on the news.

5^thAnnual Leadership conference at Siddhachalam   

Dr. Dipak Jain along with other community leaders and volunteers gathered at Siddhachalam in April 2010. It was a well attended event with enthusiastic participation by all attendees. A few new initiatives will be launched in a short time to assure continued success of Jain Centers and JAINA.

YJP activities:  In the spirit of JAINA’s greater efforts to increase Jain awareness and build inter-faith partnerships, YJP is involved in the campaign for "vegetarian meals across school cafeterias.”  YJP convention on cruise was a success. There were 100 participants. Everyone had fun along with some learning.

Haiti Earthquake Victims: In the month of May a team of thirteen medical personnel and volunteers visited Haiti. It really was an experience of lifetime. Besides providing a much needed medical help, JAINA members donated 100 tents to homeless Haitians. We contributed over $30,000 towards tents plus 15,000 worth of medical supplies and equipments. The project was spearheaded by Dr. Sushil Jain with lots of help from Dr. Nitin Shah and Prakash Mehta. To read more details about the visit to Haiti, please read the "Mission to Haiti” article in this issue.

Visit to various centers: I had very informative and cordial town hall meetings at four Jain Centers in Florida. I received very warm welcome from the members of all four Jain Centers. We had a discussion on the mutual issues and talked about their role in JAINA.

Deepika Dalal, Regional VP of South East and I visited Jain Center of South Florida, (Ft. Lauderdale), Jain Society of Central Florida, Inc.(Orlando), Jain Society of Tampa Bay and Jain Center of Ft. Myers.

During my Los Angeles visit, I had the opportunity to meet Executive Committee and Board of Directors of Jain Center of Southern California. We talked about JAINA activities and the successful Pratishtha at their center.

Adhtyamic Seminar: Four Days Adhyatmic Seminar was held,  while celebrating Gurudev Shri Kanji Swami's 121st Janma Jayanti at Jain Center of Southern California, Los Angeles. It was accomplished with grand success. It was graced by scholars like Rajendra Kamdar and Ramesh Parekh.

Jain Milan: A successful Jain Milan event was held in New Jersey.

I hope to get continued support for this forum with your contributions, views, opinions and experiences for the current and the next issue. I am excited about the next issue of eJain Digest, which will, focus on Jain sadhus and sadhvis. You will learn more about the next issue in the following pages. I personally love the brevity and timeliness of Flash and would be happy to get your feedback on it. Your encouragement and support helps the eJain Digest team to strive for excellence.

With Warmest Regards

Lata Champsee, President

Spiritual Studies

American Jain Community Sets a Historic Milestone in Jain Studies

On April 16, 2010, the Stadium Club of Florida International University (FIU) in Miami glowed with an elegant aura of Jain traditional decor and a colorful gathering of the Jain community. The occasion was to celebrate official establishment of Bhagwan Mahavir Professorship of Jain Studies at FIU.

Establishing a Jain academic center has long been a dream of the Jain community, and on this day, FIU clinched the bragging rights of being the first in history by making this dream a reality. "We appreciate Jain community’s confidence in us,” said President Rosenberg, marking the beginning of the partnership between the Jains and the FIU. Members of the Jain community across US traveled long distances to become part of this memorable event.

Samani Charitra Pragya, the pioneer of this initiative, shared her story of four year long journey at FIU that culminated in the creation of this unique program. While accepting the nomination as the first Bhagwan Mahavir Professor of Jain Studies, Dr. Nathan Katz articulated the impact of Jain principle of nonviolence on the world over the past two millennia. Dr. Dipak Jain said that Jain values form his grounding and belief and that he firmly believed they would play a pivotal role in shaping business ethics.

The community was fortunate to have received blessings from two living icons of nonviolence, His Holiness Acharya Mahapragya and His Holiness the Dalai Lama, which were delivered by Dr. Nirmal Baid and Ramesh Parmar. The finale of the event was signing of the gift agreement by Dr. Dipak Jain, Sapan Bafna, Mr. Rosenberg, Dean Futon and Mr. Conrad.

Reaching Out

Medical Mission to Haiti – A Humbling Experience

A group of 13 professionals with various backgrounds embarked on a humanitarian medical mission to help the really needy people in western hemisphere. They were: Mrs. Lata Champsee (Toronto); Fery Saremi, RN; Kelly Cornilliac, Nayna Patel, MA; Alexa Reeves, MD; Donna Reeves, MD; Ramesh Shah, Nitin Shah, MD (Los Angeles); Sushil Jain, MD; Minaxi Patel, MD; Vasant Bhatt, MD; Tuesday Cook, MD; Prakash Mehta (Maryland); all of whom went to Port Au Prince, Haiti from May 6 to 13 on a Medical Mission.

The trip was organized under the umbrella of JAINA (Federation of Jain Associations of North America). Actor Sean Penn contacted Dr. Sushil Jain to help Earthquake Survivors in Haiti. His Non-Profit Organization called JP/HRO has been providing day to day assistance to nearly 50,000 refugees. The owner of Petionville Golf and Country Club in Petionville offered his land to build temporary shelters for local Haitians who have no place to go after the earthquake.

JP/HRO – The team was  picked up and taken to Petionville country club. They have a well established system to help Haitians. People are housed in tents, have fresh water, food, and clean sanitation conditions.  They are transitioning camp residents to become self sustained and independent.  At this point camp residents are earning their living by working. JP/HRO has established family and urgent care clinics for health care including delivering babies. They do not have any hospital setting to deliver advanced healthcare such as providing facilities for surgery.  It was realized that the healthcare specialists would not be able to provide their expertise in the given setting so an attempt was made to contact Project Medishare with the help of Dr. Alexa Reeves about the team’s availability. Medishare gladly invited all 13 members to spend time at their facility.

The team toured the J/P HRO camp site & donated several suitcases full of medical supplies as well as one Pulse Oximeter (PO) that measures Heart rate, Oxygen Saturation and also hemoglobin non-invasively to them. Masimo Corp., Irvine donated the PO  which was made possible by Dr. Nitin Shah. 

Project Medishare – University of Miami helped establish Project Medishare a 100 bed hospital. This is a phenomenal undertaking. It has the capacity to provide Adult, Pediatric, Neonatal ICUs, x ray machines, Pharmacy, Laboratory, and Mortuary etc. They have an Emergency Room that runs 24 hours, 7 days a week. They also have 3 operating rooms to carry out operations. About 200 volunteers offer their services at any given time, out of which more than 125 are healthcare professionals. The healthcare system in Haiti is almost non-existent so this hospital serves not only Earthquake survivors but also others.  They have abundant supply of medical equipments & drugs. They are overwhelmed with the response from people and organizations. 

While specialists from the team (Fery (OR Nurse), Sushil (Ophthalmologist), Vasant (Orthopedist), Minaxi & Donna (Pediatricians), Tuesday (Surgeon), Alexa (Neurosurgical resident), Nitin (Anesthesiologist)) offered their medical services,  the non-medical volunteers Nayna, Prakash, Kelly, Lata and Ramesh spent many hours each day in the warehouse helping to organize the supplies & equipments. Prakash was the official photographer and Nayna & Minaxi were the kitchen supervisors..

The team stayed in a big tent. Living conditions were tough and challenging. About 125 people slept on a small cot covered with mosquito net. During the day, the temperature reached up to 125 F and it was humid. There was no running water also that could be used freely. There were 4 cold water showers being used by about 200 people. Dinners were precooked meals served to military personnel. It rained almost everyday in the afternoon and frequently caused flooding. 

This was an eye opening and humbling experience for the team members. The good thing was they could all contribute towards the betterment of Haitians. Masimo Corp. made it possible for the team to donate 2 POs to Project Medishare. All healthcare professionals were thrilled to get a PO that could measure hemoglobin non-invasively. They also donated two tents and 11 sleeping bags. The amount of damage to Haiti is unimaginable and it will take a long time before the country is back on its feet.
