About JSNT:

The Jain Society of North Texas (JSNT) is a non-profit organization promoting principles and practices of Jainism. Almost twenty years ago, it was born through spontaneous desires and a get together of few families. Today, our society has grown to become a Jain model society and an organized group with an active role in the education for the youth and others, as well as providing forums for practice of principals of Jainism.

As our members actively participate and volunteer and through prominent members in other local, social, and community organizations, our group has gained recognition as one of the prominent social forces in the North Texas Indian community. This can be evidenced by the singular recognition given by the India Association of North Texas at the celebration of the 50th anniversary of India's independence.

Our society is located at a modest facility in Richardson, a North Texas suburb city, and we host religious and educational activities weekly . The youth group has become quite an active entity as they take part and provide leadership to the regional and national YJA. We host Jain scholars, monks, and dignitaries as they voluntarily provide discourses and help us learn and practice Jain philosophy. The JSNT has a growing library of books, audio, and video tapes for self-learning for the membership.
