Dr Harhad N Sanghrajka, Deputy Chair of IoJ has been invited by the Vatican to represent Jains worldwide and Jain philosophical view on the topic:
COMPLEMENTARITY OF MAN & WOMAN IN MARRIAGE
The full programmes for the Colloquium can be viewed by clicking HERE.
His Holiness the Pope performed the opening of the colloquium The Holy Father after completing his discourse met the speakers personally . Dr Harshad Sanghrajka was on the dais with the Holy Father. He was also one of the first four speakers to address the full auditorium of over 300 people.
His paper on the Jain perspective on this subject was submitted earlier and read during the colloquium. That paper can be read by clicking HERE.
During the lunch break, many members from the audience came to shake hands with Dr Sanghrajka and appreciated the paper as excellent.
The colloquium will end on Wednesday, 19th November.
The Institute continues its long-time relationship with the Vatican and is proud to have organised audience for Jain congregations with the Holy Father.
We have been fortunate in sending Jain representatives to the Vatican for peace prayers, interfaith events and celebrations. In return, we have hosted guests from the various churches at the Jain Temple in Potters Bar in partnership with OAUK.
We shall continue to work for the recognition of Jainism along with other religions.
