The courage to say
who you are
"Hinduism today dares to use the dreaded H-word," chuckles Dr. Krishan Chawla, professor of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
“Selling wares
without acknowledging the source
is very simply plagiarism,
a form of theft.”
"I am pained to hear our leaders say 'no, I am not a Hindu,' or 'yoga is not Hindu,' or hide behind the word Vedic. I find it distasteful to dissimulate who you are. And selling wares without acknowledging the source is very simply plagiarism, a form of theft."
"This is quite serious," he continues, "because in weakening Hinduism, the whole world is deprived. The world is hungry for Hinduism’s truths and, more and more, is counting on them for its salvation. To interfere in that process, really, there are no words..."
Dr. Chawla has given generously to the Hinduism Today Production Fund, which is a part of Hindu Heritage Endowment. "When my copy of the magazine arrives, I drop everything and imbibe the beautiful spirit of it, the overwhelming sincerity and courage to forthrightly declare Hinduism’s greatness while maintaining simplicity, elegance and infinite tolerance. And no beating of drums. This is soothing to me. It is a constant source of inspiration. I share my copy with my family and give subscriptions to my friends."
If, like Dr. Chawla, you value our magazine’s firm stand on behalf of Hinduism and share his vision for Sanatana Dharma’s role in the world today and tomorrow, please consider donating to the Hinduism Today Production Fund.
