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.

As an African American, it is the experience of cultural immersion provides a greater understanding of personal biases and prejudices, and enhances the understanding vis-a-vis comparison to others. African Americans in United States are in minority, but they are the largest group within the minority segment. Throughout the history of United States, African Americans have struggled to achieve liberation at various levels and at different phases of history, that is, from the slave era to recent era of racial profiling, etc.

Lives of Muslims in United States is significantly different form that of Muslims living in India, though minority status is common to the target population.

There are some obvious differences between Indian Muslims and African American, one of them is faith.

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.
Functions of religion
This document outlines several key functions of religion. It states that religion provides mental peace and emotional support during times of crisis by consoling individuals and encouraging them to face life's problems. It also asserts that religion inculcates important social virtues like honesty, non-violence, and service, and promotes social solidarity through shared beliefs, worship, and rituals. Additionally, the document discusses how religion acts as an agent of socialization and social control by regulating behavior and preserving social norms.
In sociology the word
Religion serves important social functions according to sociologist A. Green. These include: (1) explaining individual suffering by putting faith in an unseen power; (2) enhancing self-importance by uniting with the infinite; and (3) providing social cohesion through values like obedience and honesty. Additional functions are encouraging social welfare through charity, acting as an agency of social control by upholding ideals, and controlling economic life as emphasized by Max Weber. In conclusion, religion has propagated basic values and ethics throughout history, providing cohesion to society and integration to personality.
The Roles of Congregations in Public Health Emergencies:
This document provides an overview of how religious literacy and competency among emergency managers can help build more resilient communities during public health emergencies. It discusses how faith communities can offer unique resources like comfort, hope, prayer services and advocacy. It also reviews key concepts like the disaster lifecycle and the roles of the Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster network in coordinating response efforts between government and nonprofit groups including faith communities. The goal is to educate about engaging faith groups as trusted partners before, during and after disasters.
What i'm working on (and why)
The author is working on a new book that will consist of 52 short chapters that can each be read aloud in 8-10 minutes. The book will cover the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation and follow the traditional church calendar. It will present a coherent reading of the biblical narratives with a focus on creation and new creation. Each chapter will include discussion questions. The author hopes churches, families, and other groups will use the book for a season or whole year as part of their spiritual formation. The author is also working on projects called MESA and CANA that aim to build new kinds of faith communities and approaches to Christian life and mission.

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.

In 2008, $33,000 was pledged at a community event within 20 minutes, with the highest donor giving $10,000. Only 30% of the pledged funds had been received so far. The document makes an appeal for funds in 2009 totaling $157,000 to hire an executive director, fund youth and cultural exchanges, training camps, scholarships, regional chapters, and the 2010 event.
HMEC09 Closing (s12-4)
This document discusses a Hindu Mandir Executives' Conference focused on nourishing Hindu Dharma through temples.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

It concludes that taking personal responsibility for health is one's duty, or dharma, and that Hindu temples should help devotees practice the Hindu way of living to be healthy and serve God within their bodies.

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

312 A Wise Woman of Abel Beth Maakah Saves The Town
312 A Wise Woman of Abel Beth Maakah Saves The Town
Moderator - Dr. Umesh Shukla (s03-0-1)
- 1. Nourishing and Sustaining Hindu (Sanatan) Dharma Through Mandirs/Spiritual organizations 4th Hindu Mandir Executives’ Conference-2009 UmeshShukla, Ph.D. Convener
- 2. Why we need to Sustain Hindu Dharma? Principles of Hindu Dharma show a path to live a life of fulfillment where the communities can enjoy peace and harmony by inheriting and practicing vedic knowledge Divinity in the entire creation Spirituality, worship, yoga, meditation Do no harm (non-violence), vegetarianism Truth, discipline, generosity Share and care Do not tolerate injustice Self Defense Being born as a Hindu is a privilege
- 3. Overview of Hindu Community Centers More than 500 Hindu “mandirs” in North America. 1965-present Established the seed of Hindu Dharma by acquiring hard assets Reached out to community by primarily focusing on rituals & festivals Now and beyond – Where do we go from here?
- 4. Overview of Hindus in the USA Two million strong community Less than 1% of US population Outstanding professional & economic achievements Lacking a clear, well-defined collective identity Fragmented along regional, sectarian & generational lines Uninvolved second generation on issues of Dharma A very large number of non-Hindu Americans influenced by Hindu ideas (vegetarianism, Vedanta, yoga, mediation, spirituality, etc.)
- 5. ISSUES TO PONDER What are the implications for the sustainability of Hindu institutions? Will our institutions meet the same fate as that of Christian churches? What are the implications for sustainability of Hindu Dharma in USA? How to develop a network, leadership and programs to solve these challenges?
