Making Jainism Visible in the Digital Age
New Year is not about changing the Dates but Direction;
It's not about changing the Calendar but Commitment;
It's not about changing the Actions but Attitude;
It's not about changing the Fruit but Faith, Force and Focus!
May you Commit and Create the best New Year ever …
..with enhanced dedication to the cause of JAINISM!
Mission* 24L * & JainWorld (www.jainworld.com)
As we celebrate the first...11 Years... of Mission*24L* and 18 years of www.jainworld.com (the very first web site on Jainism) around the globe, it remains the best time to review the progress and future plans for this unique movement which will have greatest impact on the way Jainism will be perceived globally in the days to come. Solid progress on the Mission*24L* front is continuing throughout the world due to the hard work of several Jainworld teams in developing, reviewing, and loading the contents in various languages.
Here's a summary of achievements over the past few years:
A non-profit Foundation in USA, www.jainworld.com is unique and is already revolutionizing the way Jainism is perceived globally. Our Mission*24L* plan makes sure that Jainworld.com extends coverage to more than 97% of the global population, and has already translated in all of 24 designated languages (and currently in 36 languages), representing the 24 Tirthankars. Mission*24L* is like a modern day "Samavasharan" or assembly of Thirthankars who made the core values of Jainism accessible to all, all the time, in all the languages.
Jainworld.com's massive multiple language editions of a huge, user-friendly web site has created an in-depth knowledge-base and global resource center complete with authentic and original Jain scripture and commentaries to serve everyone, Jains and non-Jains, from a casual visitor to a serious research fellow. This is a historical landmark in the cause of Jainism not achieved before. Jainworld is now a truly global movement participated from 167 countries. Since 1996, JainWorld has worked relentlessly to create a visible, global signature for Jainism.
Several thousand Jains and non-Jains across the globe are using Jain World regularly to learn Jainism and to teach their children or the 'Pathshala' students. Several universities are now using JainWorld as a knowledge base of Jainism for the courses in English and other languages. There are 600 academic Jainism projects guided by JainWorld in high schools and colleges around the world.
More than 700 Jainism related outreach efforts by Radio-TV talks, lectures, discussion groups for non-Jain audience are getting initiated in world languages through Jain World. More and more non-Jains across globe are requesting for free material on various aspects of Jainism. JainWorld has arrangements in place to provide such material free of cost to all of them.
Jain Recipes on Jain World have created dramatic awareness about Jain foods and remains a valuable source for all hotels, airlines, TV and individuals world wide. Massive project to bring all Jain scripture older than 2000 years on web was first initiated by JainWorld.
JainWorld collaborated with several media organizations in putting Jainism on their web site and helping them to film Jain temples and Jain way of life in India especially for non-English world audiences. A dramatic increase of such coverage is now visible. Today, JainWorld is de facto entry point to the exciting world of Jainism due to a dynamic, bold, new approach to present exciting world of Jainism to the entire world.
Work on many more languages is continuing along with enhancement of existing language editions. Make sure you are part of it.
As we continue to expand the visibility of Jainism through the Mission*24L* movement we refine the path to strategic growth and opportunities for taking Jainism to masses. With your support and teamwork, we can help the humanity in satisfying their urgent requirements of peace, friendship, brotherhood, equality, dignity, and spirituality for all and make this earth a real paradise.
Your dedication can make a significant difference in the world and benefit a lot of people. Be a part of this exciting, fulfilling movement --- Mission*24L*
