New Religious Channel ‘Jinvani’ Goes on Air

Mumbai (Maharashtra), December 9, 2011: A new religious channel, ‘Jinvani’, which caters to the Digambar sect of Jain community, has been launched. Sea TV Network Ltd launched the channel a few days ago under the umbrella of Jain Telemedia Services Ltd. “This is world’s first satellite ‘Jain channel’ solely dedicated to the Digambar sect. The channel is directed at bringing the philosophy of `ahimsa’ (non-violence) propagated by Bhagwan Mahaveer,” Neeraj Jain, Chairman and Managing Director of Sea TV Network, said in a statement here today. “With this channel we not only look at targeting audiences from India but also those who have settled abroad.” The channel will have several shows that would focus on issues like religion, spirituality, moral values, health, art of living and principles of Jainism in simplest form, and ensure that people, especially the youth, easily understand the preachings and their importance, the statement said. For the youth, the channel would telecast 2D and 3D movies and serials based on Jain epics and historical and religious events to portray the teachings and beliefs of Jainism, it added. – News Courtesy: PTI
