Hinduism Today's Introduction to Hinduism
Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami and the editorial staff of Hinduism Today in the Ganapati Kulam have just finished a momentous 45-minute video. In this presentation, Bodhinatha reads his Publisher’s Desk article from the April/May/June 2009 edition of Hinduism Today magazine, an extended editorial, drawn from our book What Is Hinduism? and expanded upon, offering a basic summary of Hinduism that you can proudly present to gatherings in your community.

Bodhinatha's Latest Upadesha: "Detachment from Experiences; Importance of Daily Vigil" (May 5, 2013)
All experiences are good experiences, necessary to get us here. Awareness of aspects of ourselves that are constantly changing is a liberating perception, breaking our chains to mundane areas, detaching from instinctive and intellectual to go into superconscious. The greatest challenge facing youth today is the lack of relating to the devotional side of Hinduism. Daily practice, daily vigil, moves us forward spiritually. Commentary on Merging with Siva, The Master Course, Lesson 21.
