Understanding India, Her Culture and Contributions
The University of Washington chapter of Hindu YUVA organized their annual Speaker on Campus program on May 2, 2010. Hindu YUVA (Hindu Youth for Unity, Virtues and Action) is a registered student organization at the University of Washington which organizes a range of weekly and annual activities to increase awareness about Hindu culture in the community. There were two very informative talks by invited speakers –“Indian Culture and Traditions” by Dr. Yashwant Pathak and, “Introduction to Ayurveda” by Shri Harvilas Das. The event saw an attendance of around 60 people which included people from different cultures. The general response was good and everybody learnt a lot of new things from the two talks.
Bridging the Gap
UNC Charlotte Hindu YUVA conducted a program, named Bridging the Gap, involving two Dharmic faiths (Hindu and Sikh) and three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). It started with an introduction to Hindu YUVA and the need for communication between the religions. The last part of the program was reserved for questions from the audience, which had many things to ask the panel members. Even though there were not many religious similarities uncovered during the discussion, everyone agreed that the program went well. About 30 people participated in the two hour program.
Speaker on Campus - 2007
In the months of September and October - 2007, youths of Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) successfully conducted Speaker on Campus project in several US Universities. Various students from different universities came together and felt a need for bringing more awareness on campus about Hindu way of life. It is but surprising that even in the current state of world, people have overlooked social model which propagated the thought of "World is but one family" and "Let all be happy, prosperous, and healthy".
