Blending
Spirituality
with Activism
In 2003, Mihir Meghani and a band of dynamic young Hindus decided the time had come. "The problem was evident and the solution clear," explains Mihir, who was born in Philadelphia in 1972. "American Hindus needed a strong, credible and effective voice—one that makers of public opinion and policy would hear and respect." To that end, the young visionaries founded the Hindu American Foundation (HAF). Today, ten years on, HAF has established itself well, championed several Hindu causes and accomplished its mission of becoming a powerful Hindu voice.
“They don’t just retreat,
they’re ever finding new ways
to serve and uplift everyone,
sharing the fruit of their meditations.
That is a powerful message in itself
that we use and build on.”
"Hinduism Today has facilitated much of our work," explains Mihir, "mostly by creating respect for Hinduism. Its grasp of contemporary issues and knack for sharing Hindu knowledge and wisdom in clear, modern language have given us tools to work with. And the magazine’s monastic staff is a model for us, one of spirituality blended with activism. They don’t just retreat, they’re ever finding new ways to serve and uplift everyone, sharing the fruit of their meditations. That is a powerful message in itself that we use and build on." Mihir and his wife Tanvi live in Fremont, California. He is a physician and she is a jewelry designer. "We want to see that day come when the magazine expands, is translated into hundreds of languages, impacts millions and enlists ever more brilliant souls as workers for this great Hindu renaissance."
