The charter of JAINA's Jain Digest magazine is to connect Jains across the world with content rich and meaningful articles, important news & events and other relevant information which impacts Jains in today's world.

JAINA started publishing the Jain Digest magazine in 1985 with the goal of keeping the Jain community of North America informed about news and events, promote unity, bring awareness, and embrace the Jain way of Life. Since then, with support from readers like you, the magazine has continued to reach new heights; bringing articles on Jain philosophy and the human values that Jainism promotes. With the new online version that began in July 2019, we are now reaching Jains around the World. The members of the Editorial Team feel fortunate to have an opportunity to serve you and assist you in your spiritual journey.

The mission of JAINA's Jain Digest magazine is to connect Jains across the world with content-rich and meaningful articles, important news & events, and other relevant information that impacts Jains in today's world.
