KAPAA, HAWAII, March 25, 2009: Hindus in the West are sometimes invited to give a talk explaining their religion at a local college, schoolroom, interfaith group or even a Christian church. Some have confided to Hinduism Today magazine publisher Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami that they do not feel qualified to give such a presentation. There is clearly a need for an authentic, non-academic introduction to Hinduism that can be presented with confidence on such occasions. Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami prepared this Publisher’s Desk editorial (drawn from Hinduism Today’s book “What Is Hinduism?”) as a broad summary of our faith that can be used to properly educate others in the basics of Hinduism, minus all the misconceptions and myths.
The 45-minute, graphic-rich video is available on YouTube in five parts, beginning here. At the end of each part is a clickable link to the next part. The text is also available here for those interested in giving the presentation themselves or printing and distributing it in their communities, or formatting it for their own newsletter or publication.
