A confluence of events: recent Pew Research study that includes the Hindu-American community, and the upcoming White House conference we’re assisting with, Dharmic American Future: Seva, Tradition and Innovation, has made me thoughtful about how my Hinduness is integral to my place and work in America. I usually write about my motivations for interfaith outreach…here’s why I’m involved with service in the tradition I was born into. Read it at Huffington Post.
Bringing community together to envision and realize beneficial projects. We partner with local, national and international organizations to advance dialogue, pluralism and social equity. Based in Minneapolis, MN and New Orleans, LA, cities connected by the great Mississippi, we are symbolic of all rivers connecting all people. Each river is unique: each faith is different, yet all rivers, all faiths, share common features, define culture and nurture life.
Hello, America! The Hindus Are Here, And We’d Like to Help.
