20 years ago in 2002, Young Jains held the 5th International Convention, Tasting The Mango. The convention was an opportunity to develop understanding of the fundamentals of Jain Philosophy such that it can be used consistently every day. There was focus on the Jain Jigsaw puzzle consisting of the following pieces – Atma, Mithyatva, Samyak Darshan, Moksha, Karma, Nav Tattva, Kashyas and Upsham, and an understanding of how these are part of the Path to Moksha.
Below you will find a series of articles reminiscing this convention, 20 years on.
