Seeing to our
most urgent
need
The most urgent need hindus have is for genuine understanding, the kind that helps you make sense out of your life,” Srikanth Kannan, of Hyderabad, India, explained to our editors, recently. ”I see so many youth here, in India, who will not call themselves Hindus. They are embarrassed because they can’t explain themselves. They may have spiritual longings but, sadly, they reject the very thing that holds the answers they crave.”
“Read Hinduism Today and do sadhana
consistently over a long time.
It’s well worth the effort.”
Srikanth, a professor of management, has taught at universities in Europe, US and India. In 2000, he met Hinduism Today’s founder, Gurudeva, and immediately the guru said, “Here!” and handed him a copy of the magazine. “That began, for me, a long journey of understanding which continues to this day. The magazine brought me clarity, insight and the practice of daily sadhana. I learned to be more peaceful, to control my life and appreciate my faith more deeply, based now on solid personal experience. I believe this is the way to quell all those questions the youth have. I occasionally encourage someone to do as I did: read Hinduism Today and do sadhana consistently over a long time. It’s well worth the effort.”
Kannan explains that there is a “community” of Hindus souls living all around the world who share a tendency toward spirituality, but have lost contact with the source and have no idea where to start. “Hinduism Today is aware of that community and speaks to them, telling them they are not alone. To me, that is the magazine’s most valuable service.”
Kannan has given generously to the Hinduism Today Production Fund which is a part of Hindu Heritage Endowment— “to reach out to that community, and make youth proud to be Hindus again, having experienced their faith’s power to transform life and brighten their days.”
If, like Srikanth, you would like to disseminate understanding where it matters most, please consider donating to the Production Fund or including it in your estate plan.
