Hinduism Today's latest issue gives Hindu families, teachers and institutions a powerful educational tool to teach youth about India's history. This is our second history lesson to be released, 16-pages covering the period between from 300 to 1100ce. It tells an authentic story of India, and in the process corrects errors, omissions and distortions that are taught in grade schools around the world. Feature articles present Navaratri, that grand festival to the Goddess, the fascinating history of the sari, how a sacred view of the cosmos is saving forests, a day in the life of a living sage, Sadhu Vasvani, one journalist's reflections on Hindu parents' failure to pass on the heritage to his generation and a penetrating commentary by Dr. David Frawley on the fraudulent strategies Christian missionaries employto covert Hindus to their faith. Our publisher, Satguru Bodhiantha Veylanswami, tackles television in his editorial, critiquing it, yes, but also providing parents ways to apply the power and presence of television to their children's moral and intellectual growth. All available in the free Digital Edition's striking color PDF's.
