KAUAI, USA, September 11, 2008: The October/November/December edition of Hinduism Today magazine has been released in digital form and is now available — for free — on your desktop.
This compelling issue can help you protect your children from misinformation. It gives Hindu families, teachers and institutions a powerful educational tool which help us all teach kids the truth about India’s amazing history. The insight section is an information-rich, 16-page history of India from 300 to 1100 ce covering its social, cultural, intellectual and spiritual past. This second chapter of a social studies history lesson — our editorial team’s first lesson covered from ancient time to 300 ce — continues the effort to faithfully report the glorious past of the subcontinent and correct the errors, omissions and distortions taught in grade schools around the world.
The issue’s a major feature is on Navaratri, the world’s grand festival to the Goddess. It explores the subtle differences in how She is honored in several parts of India. Another article is maybe the most extensive article ever published on the grace and elegance of the sari, along with its fascinating history. Also read about 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 fraudulent strategies some missionaries employ to covert Hindus to their faiths.
Our publisher, Satguru Bodhinatha 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. Find out how to make into a spiritual tool.
