HOUSTON, TEXAS, August 21, 2009: Preceding Satguru Bodinatha Veylanswami’s arrival in Houston in late August of 2009, Kalyani Giri, cultural/community news journalist for Indo-American News, prepared an interview with the publisher of Hinduism Today.
Kalyani asked Hindu youth, ages 8-22 (including her 17-year-old daughter Anushka) in this city’s Hindu American community to voice their everyday concerns, which she in turn relayed to Bodhinatha. The questions are intelligent, articulated and relevant. “All my friends are American Caucasian, Hispanic, and African American. How do I help them understand Hindu values?” and “Do you find religion divisive? I do. Why can’t we get along, unite and present a strong, united front?” are some examples.
