Community Building in a Dharmic Environment - Sushri Anju Bhargava (s05-3)
This document discusses the need for Hindu, Jain, Sikh, and Buddhist institutions in America to transform in order to provide more social services and engage in community building. It notes that dharmic institutions have traditionally served as centers for worship, education, and cultural exchange, but few currently have the capacity for sustained social service programs. It argues that dharmic institutions should follow the models of organizations like Catholic Charities and strive to address issues like poverty, healthcare, senior needs, and discrimination through faith-based social services. The document calls for establishing more local seva centers, fostering interfaith collaboration, and gaining recognition from the government in order to better serve communities and integrate into American civic life.

Obstacles And Opportunities For Hindu Temples In America& - Dr Chander Shaykh...

This document discusses the importance of sustaining Hindu (Sanatan) Dharma through Hindu community centers (mandirs) in North America. It notes that while over 500 mandirs have been established since 1965 to establish Hindu Dharma and engage communities through rituals and festivals, more work needs to be done to address issues like the lack of a clear Hindu identity among the two million strong Hindu-American population and disengagement of the second generation. The Hindu Mandir Executives' Conference aims to have mandir executives strategize solutions through leadership, programs and networking to nourish Hindu Dharma and meet the needs of both the community and broader American society going forward.

Political Activism is Necessary for Religious Freedom - Shri Sanjay Puri, Dr....
This document discusses the importance of political activism for Indian Americans and religious freedom. It notes that while Indian Americans have achieved success in areas like business and education, political recognition and activism are necessary to reduce perceptions of minority religions as cults and deal with zoning or other issues. The document provides examples of how lack of political awareness can lead religions and cultures to suffer, and encourages temples and community leaders to engage with local politicians and media to raise awareness of their culture and build relationships. It introduces USINPAC as an organization that helps amplify the political voice and impact of contributions from Indian Americans.
Media Treatment of Hindus - Shri Ravi Joshi (s11-1)

Hindus are sometimes invisible or reported on through standardized sources that do not fully capture Hinduism. The document advocates for Hindus to move from being mute objects to articulate subjects by developing media kits, training volunteers, and leveraging local temples to get the Hindu perspective and worldview represented in media coverage.
Moderator - Dr. Ajay Shah (s11-0)

Reaching Out to the Larger Community: Health Care - Dr. Vipin Kalia (s08b-2)
The document discusses reaching out to the larger community to address health care issues. It notes that a combination of economic, educational, medical, psychological, and relational factors can lead to economic disaster for individuals. It also states that individuals often deny that problems could affect them personally. The document proposes that institutions can help solve these problems by educating to reduce denial, accumulating resources beyond what individuals can access, and persisting in efforts across generations outliving any single individual. It suggests the HMEC organization can address these issues while furthering its own mission through creative financing strategies like grants, endowments, mutual funds, and small percentages from credit card purchases to generate funds over time.

Marriage and Multiculturalism - Shri Krishna Kirti Das (s08d-1)
The document discusses how a multiculturalist versus universalist approach to religion and marriage affects Hindu-American identity. It notes that over 50% of Asian-Americans marry non-Asians. A multiculturalist approach sees religion as limited to oneself, does not see promoting religion as ethical, and does not require passing beliefs to children. This inevitably weakens Hindu-American identity. In contrast, a universalist approach sees religion as governing behavior in marriage and requires passing on beliefs, which can strengthen Hindu identity through interfaith marriage.

By participating in discussions and debates, Hindu youth can help remove misunderstandings and distortions that have arisen in other religions and promote pluralism in America.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
