I'm glad you enjoyed the experience! Here in the states it is a bit difficult. I have heard that India is very vegetarian/vegan friendly. I would very much like to visit one day.
Thank you for telling me this Subhankar :) I like extremes, and I am already a vegan. However, I doubt I would be able to convert to Jainism fully but I do think I would benefit greatly from incorporating some of their laws and teachings.
Aupmanyav, thank you for sharing this with me. :)
Hello!
I am currently in the process of exploring various religions and Jainism caught my attention emedietly.
For all of those that were not born into Jainism, how did you come upon it? Where did you begin, and what drew you to it?
Very eager to learn more! :)
Yes I thought I may have posted this in the wrong place :(
Would the mods please move this thread to the appropriate section of the forums? Much thanks!
I have always wondered about our names. For many of us we are given names at a young age and they stay that way forever. However I do know of some cultures that, traditionally, when a person "comes of age" they adopt a new name that they pick themselves.

Hey there,
Just going to quickly introduce myself!
I go by Shimi, or Simi. I'm still "testing the waters" in terms of my spiritual and religious beliefs. Born in South Africa, and currently home schooled. I also like to plant stuff :D
So yeah that's me! Hopefully I can make a few friends on...
