Why Dr. Lathi
chose to establish a
charitable remainder trust
“Yes, I'm encouraged by the vitality of our faith today,” Dr. Bhagwandas M Lathi explained to our staff. “But when I see the array of powerful forces working hard to undo Hinduism and the mass of misinformation circulating, I worry.”
“If we want our grandchildren to resist the onslaught, we've got to react!”
“I know of no other publication like it.
Here is our chance.
Let's make the most of it!”
“We need intellectual clarity as never before. It is not enough to build temples. We need to understand their function and value, then inspire our children with that knowledge—not just a youth here and there, but a majority of each generation. That is what it will take. It's a big job and, as I see it, time is short.”
To do his part, Dr. Lathi, a retired professor of electrical engineering living in California, generously supports Hinduism Today. “We must make sure this pure voice of dharma is heard as widely as possible. I know of no other publication like it. It proudly declares itself to be Hindu and ceaselessly works to rectify misconceptions and abuse frankly and courageously. And especially, it is doing pioneering work to present our faith in a way that is intellectually satisfying and spiritually inspiring. Here is our chance; let's make the most of it!”
Dr. Lathi established a charitable remainder trust which, when it matures in 2021, it will grant $300,000 to the Hinduism Today Production Fund, a part of Hindu Heritage Endowment. Earnings from this gift will enable the editors to produce an ever more potent magazine.
