Sun One Homa

Today was Sun One and Bodhinatha gave a lively and insightful bhashya (commentary) on Gurudeva’s Master Course Lesson on the subjects of faith and will power.

Senthilnathswami perform the homa today.

Gurudeva had a special inner connection with Lord Hanuman and he always keeps a small murthi of Hanuman next to the homa fire. We continue this tradition…

Vamadeva Shastri and Shambhavi

We were delighted and honored to be visited by Pundit Vamadeva Shastri (David Frawley) world renowned author and teacher.

An avowed Hindu, and perhaps today’s most articulate western spokeman for modern Hinduism, he has been a long time collaborator with our Hinduism Today team, supporting the magazine with his advertisements and ever ready to help on a consulting basis. Our publish team has in turn tried to help with his publishing by supplying illustrations and art work.

Last year he married another well-known author and teacher of the Shakta tradition, Shambhavi L. Chopra, author of the best-seller: Yogini:Unfolding the Goddess Within. Together they are doing great work through David’s American Institute of Vedic Studies. He reaches a large audience through the teaching the disciplines of yoga, ayurveda and jyotisha. Shambhavi brings a strong element of bhakti and sadhana to their work together. Check out their web site: http://www.vedanet.com which now offers distance learning course

A prolific author Vamadeva Shastri has release a second edition of his 1995 book “Hinduism, the Eternal Tradition.” It is a terrific read for both Hindus, ardha-Hindus (half-Hindus) and non-Hindus alike!

    New Flower

    Here is a marvel of nature we have just discovered–a new flower, a new dance of Lord Siva.

    This is the plant it comes from. The flower is hidden in the heart of the plant and you really have to look for it to find it. That is why it escaped our notice for so long. We do not know the name of the plant. Anyone out there know?

    Saivite Hinduism Workshop in Boston

    On Sunday, May 17th, a Saivite Hinduism workshop was held at the First Church of Christ in Bedford, (a suburb of Boston) for the community’s children.

    Twenty-eight children of all ages and their parents attended the workshop which was conducted by Rishi Thondunathan.

    Children were instructed about the Nine Beliefs of Hinduism, A Hindu Primer, Ten Questions about Hinduism and more from Gurudeva’s book, Dancing with Siva.

    This Workshop was organized by Kailas and Yasothara Aravinthan, Kailas Aravinthan is one of the Trustees of the Manitha Neyam Trust, which has created a Fund in the Hindu Heritage Endowment.

    Hinduism Today Editorial Staff Now on Twitter

    According to Wikipedia, Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users’ updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length which are displayed on the user’s profile page and delivered to other users who have subscribed to them (known as followers). The San Francisco-based service, launched in 2006, has become immensely popular, with growth estimated by Nielson at 1,382% between February 2008 and February 2009, and anecdotal reports of a continuing explosion through the first half of 2009. Compared with other social networking sites, such as Facebook and MySpace, Twitter is touted for its utter simplicity, often referred to by co-founder Biz Stone as just “a messaging system that you didn’t know you needed until you had it.” Twitter has evolved from its almost cliché use as a simple way for friends and family to keep each other up-to-date on events in their daily life to news services, businesses, nonprofits, religious leaders and institutions, notable public figures and even members and branches of the US Government using the service to inform and engage with their customers, contributors, followers, fans and constituents. Uses vary almost as much as those of blogs and web pages as the Twitter population booms and new applications are conceived of. The editors of Hinduism Today magazine and Hindu Press International announced their Twitter account today to connect more with its readers and share the uniquely focused perspective they have on happenings both within the Hindu world and of interest to Hindus around the globe.
