To Bring Forth The Foundational Values Of Jainism And Make Them Relevant To Our Current Generation And Beyond.
The Jain Foundation is a not for profit organization, devoted to spreading the foundational values of Jainism, through several powerful, ever expanding, branches like Jain Talks, Jain Yog, Jain Diet, Jain Yatra, Jain Shala, Jain Melody, Jain Parva and Jain Library.
Technology has been used as a platform to bring forth the values of Jainism to appeal to the current generation. It has also been an endeavour to move away from preaching Jainism to highlighting the essence of what this religion stands for. A religion which today science is proving time and again to be accurate to the very last detail.
