achievements over the past 18 months.

 

• English: Jainworld is now a truly global site visited from

122 countries and more than 42,000+ hits per day. From1997,

JainWorld has been working relentlessly to create a global identity

for Jainism as independent, unique religion and it's great value

system and to create a new awareness about the unique principals of

Jainism by making core values of Jainism accessible to all, all the

time. Whether some one wants to stay with Jain families to understand

how Jains follow non-violence in day-to-day life or wants free

material on Jainism or a Jain Recipes needed by hotels worldwide to

serve Jain food to their guest, they came to Jainworld. A professor

or a student wanting material on Jainism, writers, institutions

wanting to borrow photos and other contents, Interfaith wants someone

to talk on Jainism then JainWorld is there to help. Names like BBC,

National Geography, Harvard, Princeton, etc. Radio stations, TV

stations, they all come to Jainworld. In fact, for non-Jains,

www.jainworld.com is the de-facto entry point to the exciting world

of Jainism. Thanks to continued dedication and support from all of

you.
