Moderator - Dr. Umesh Shukla (s03-0-1)
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.

Moderator - Shri Sanjay Mehta (s12-0)
This 3-day session concluded on September 13, 2009. The moderator for the session was Sanjay Mehta. The session covered various topics over the 3 days but no other details about the content or conclusions are provided in this short document.
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)
The document discusses media coverage of Hinduism and Hindus in America. It notes that Hindus are often portrayed as a non-Western minority through a Western intellectual framework. 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)
The document discusses a session from September 11-13, 2009 that examined whether the media was adequately and fairly covering a topic. The session was moderated by Viay Narang and focused on assessing media coverage.
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.
Youth Networking Programs at Chinmaya Mission - Shri Kaushik Joshi (s08d-4)
The document summarizes activities at Chinmaya Mission in Chicago, including programs for children (Bal Vihar), youth (Yuva Kendra), and adults. Bal Vihar is a 2 hour Sunday program for children ages 4 to 18 that teaches Vedantic principles and holds an annual summer camp. Yuva Kendra hosts a weekly study group, annual summer camp, social networking activities, and community service projects for youth. Chinmaya Mission also publishes books and media on Vedic learning and holds adult study groups and a school of Vedantic studies.

1) The document discusses procedures and policies for welcoming willing individuals into the Vedic/Hindu fold through marriage or conversion.
2) It advocates treating all people equally and with friendliness, regardless of characteristics like race or ethnicity, as per ancient Vedic scriptures.
3) The key steps outlined are performing a simple fire sacrifice ceremony for those converting, giving them a Sanskrit name, and educating them in the beliefs and practices of Hinduism.
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.
Certification Program for Language Courses at Bal Vihars - Pandit Ramdheen R...
The document proposes establishing a school or college based on the Super Accelerated Learning Theory (SALT) that would offer courses in Hindi, philosophy, yoga, Ayurveda, and Vedanta. It envisions implementing the SALT school system globally in public or private schools. The school would work with the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth to offer degrees from kindergarten through college. It would provide credits for courses taken at affiliated mandirs and allow early graduation based on students' development.
Explaining Hindu Dharma to our next Generation- Objectives and Strategies - S...
The document discusses strategies for teaching Hinduism to the next generation. It suggests taking a sequential learning approach starting with basic concepts and philosophy to build self-esteem. Specific strategies include preparing age-appropriate lesson modules, explaining Hindu concepts and history from the Hindu perspective, addressing common myths and misunderstandings, and engaging with schools and other institutions to clear ignorance and promote an accurate understanding of Hinduism. The goal is to empower parents and students to learn about and confidently practice their faith.
The Mandirs & Challenges of Pluralism: A Plus for Mandirs - Shri Tej Tanden (...
The document discusses the challenges and opportunities of religious pluralism in the United States. It argues that while local governments sometimes violate religious minorities' rights, the interaction between different faith communities also presents opportunities for learning. The author believes Hindu temples should get involved in interfaith organizations and educate others about concepts in Hinduism like the oneness of God and the lack of separation between God and humans. 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.
Bhagavad Gita for Hotels and Motels - Shri Akruranatha Dasa Ji, Shri Milan Do...
The Panchajanya program aims to place English versions of the Bhagavad Gita in hotels and motels across the US. Prominent Patel motel owners have welcomed supporting this initiative by allowing the books to be placed in their establishments. Indian motel owners, especially Patels, own around 60% of motels in the US under organizations like AAHOA. The goal is to eventually place around 200,000 copies which could then involve working with larger franchisors. Testimonials from motel guests show the positive impact of finding the Gita in their rooms. Challenges include the need for resources to contact moteliers, do follow-ups, and restock copies that are taken by guests. Help is

THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.
sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
