Jain dharma is certainly simple and logical, I agree, and in my view the understanding of the key elements of the dharma can be cemented through fun analogies and associations.

Jai is always = praise be to, hail Jita = victory Indriya = senses. Respect is being paid to the one who has conquered the five senses and is without any desires. Senses are the cause of all desire. By saying Jai Jinendra, we are reminding each other of that status which we should be aiming for. Jai Jinendra is an abbreviated form of Jai Jitendriya.

Just to let you know I have uploaded photos from the JainVegan and Young Jains event, which was held at Sayer Centre on Saturday 9th May. Congratulations to everyone involved for putting on an excellent and informative event. The video clips exposing the realities of the dairy industry were very moving and thought-provoking. There was a very experienced panel on hand answering questions from the floor. It was also a day to celebrate the tastiness of vegan food! There was an abundance of food, and thanks must go to the businesses who kindly donated food and the many volunteers who prepared food at home for the event. To name but a few of the delicacies there was chaat, vegan kadhi, jalebi, vegan ice cream and much more. There was enough food left over to feed everyone at another Young Jains event the following day so even more people were able to enjoy the vegan treats. All in all, a fantastic event. Well done once again. Jyoti Message from event attendee Jyoti Mehta as posted on the Jain Vegans Yahoo! group:

Congratulations to everyone involved for putting on an excellent and informative event. The video clips exposing the realities of the dairy industry were very moving and thought-provoking. There was a very experienced panel on hand answering questions from the floor.
