January 2006

Our Best Wishes to you all on the festival of Makar Sankranti. This festival is celebrated with different names – Pongal, Lori etc, obviously being as diverse as our Hindu society is, there are many names to anything and everything which we value in our life. Let this day of change bring the most auspicious and best for each one of you.

In this issue of PRAGNYA, we have very informative article on the important THREAD CEREMONY, story about Divya who became a role model through her SERVICE to the society, a story about the famous Dabbawalas’ from Mumbai (India), and a very important interview with an official from Hindu Education Foundation (HEF).

January 12 was the birthday of Swami Vivekananda, whose life has inspired many to serve the humanity. Swamiji’s life is an example of Knowledge, Devotion and Discipline tied together put in action through SERVICE to fellow beings.

Finally, we would like to invite you all to become contributors in PRAGNYA – which means WISDOM, yes our collective Wisdom. Visit us online at http://www.hinduyuva.org/jan2006. Provide us your feedback via email: pragnya@hinduyuva.org
