US daily The Signal, Santa Clarita Valley, published a write-up expressing the views of Dr. Jasvant Modi on
Jainism and Interfaith Understanding.
The article titled Building Bridges Through Dialogue: Dr. Jasvant Modi on Jainism and Interfaith
Understanding was published on June 4, 2025. The article explores Dr. Modi’s perspective on Jainism,
highlighting its emphasis on nonviolence, respect, and interfaith dialogue as key principles for fostering
harmony among diverse communities. In a nutshell, the article says:
Jainism, an ancient Indian faith, champions nonviolence, respect, and dialogue, shaping peaceful coexistence
across centuries. Rooted in ahimsa (non-harm) and anekantavada (many-sidedness), Jain teachings foster
humility and open conversations. Jain monks and communities have long engaged with diverse religious
traditions, promoting mutual understanding rather than conquest. Modern Jain leaders continue this legacy
through interfaith dialogues, environmental efforts, and social initiatives. Jainism’s ethical approach
encourages harmony, trust, and respect among faiths, proving that peaceful living transcends differences.
Its principles remain vital in today’s interconnected world, where understanding and compassion build
bridges across cultures and beliefs.
