New Zealand Hindu Conference
We are very pleased to inform you that the 1st New Zealand Hindu Conference, a historic event for the Hindu community in New Zealand, will be held at the Hindu Heritage Centre, Mangere East, Auckland on 12 and 13 May 2007. The preparations are going well.
Hindu Heritage Centre (HHC) is 8.5 acres of land and buildings (previously Te Wananga O Aotearoa campus) and is now run by Hindu Heritage Charitable Trust. The mission of HHC are to deliver services of education, self development, cultural development, sports development, and care for the elderly, youth and children; and to bring all like-minded organisations and institutions in New Zealand together to promote universal human value and co-existence.
Please note that the 1st NZ Hindu conference is not a religious or philosophical conference but a community conference.
The theme of the 1st New Zealand Hindu Conference is “The contribution of Hindu community to the national life of New Zealand.” It will cover the economic, health, environmental, social and cultural aspects. This conference provides a platform for all the Hindu organisations/ temples/ like-minded groups to showcase their contributions to the New Zealand society. This will be in the form of exhibitions on ‘Contributions of Hindus to New Zealand society’ and also ‘Contributions of Hindus to the World of Science’. There are 7 paper presentation sessions and 3 workshops. The workshops will focus on issues which are common to all Hindu organisations, and also to the wider community, such as “Health and wellbeing”, “Education and culture” and “Social beliefs and family.”
Look forward to your participation and support.
With kind regards,
Dr Guna Magesan
