UNITED KINGDOM, October 2011 (by Kajal Valani Sheth): Awake, arise and uphold Dharma. This is effectively the message Shri Krishna gave to Arjuna on the Kurukshetra battlefield, and this is the message the National Hindu Students Forum (UK) – NHSF – are looking to give students and the wider Hindu Samaj of the UK.
The National event will be the largest and most prominent segment as a free-flowing, interactive exhibition style event with something for all ages to enjoy. It will be taking place on Saturday, 19th November, from 10am to 6pm at the JFS School in Kingsbury.
It has been 20 years since the establishment of NHSF and what better way to celebrate than a yearlong theme aiming to help ourselves and others wake up and reignite our souls! NHSF, for the last 20 years, has surpassed all expectations and has provided the platform for students across campuses nationwide to succeed in all their undertakings, using Hindu Dharma as a tool.
This yearlong celebration, entitled ‘Arise Arjuna’, is categorized into four areas: Personal, Chapter, Zonal and National. Within the Personal area, there are two initiatives; first being to conduct an act of Sewa (selfless service) once a week and the second to read 10 minutes daily on any Hindu Dharma topic. The Chapter area is designed to help all chapters of NHSF make a positive impact on campus. The Zonal section is looking to hold a Dharma Retreat in each of the three zones of NHSF to allow students to unite to discuss and find solutions facing Hindus in the UK and worldwide.
