    The inaugural issue of Samyak includes a special feature on the 2025 Jain Cultural Festival at the University of North Texas. Our cover art is "States of Mind and the Path to Mokṣa: A Journey of Liberation," (oil on canvas) by Shaily Jain, Pathshala Coordinator at the Jain Society of North Texas: "The colors symbolize the six Leśyās, each representing a state of mind, from darkness to purity. The central symbol embodies the five-stage journey toward Mokṣa, guiding the soul from ignorance to liberation."
