________________ Jain Diaspora are being made against our religion and to oppose such moves and actions. For instance, a lot of religious conversion activities are going on or the false propoganda that is being conducted by bodies like Anop Mandal. (4) To make concerted efforts to propagate and spread the principles of non-violence, Anekant etc. and to organise programmes aimed at creating awareness about them. The co-ordinators and the office bearers may visit different countries and appraise the local people of their activities. The president of the JAINA visits different towns and cities in India whenever he visits that country and appraises the local people about the activities that are being conducted by JAINA in the US. I appeal to one and all to make concerted efforts under the auspices of such an umbrella organisation and, in the words of Swami Vivekanand, we must 'arise, awake and stop not' till our goal is reached. The enlightened community must not wait for a messiah to come to us and stir us into action. Our salvation lies in action, now and here.
