Monks in Orlando
The three-day Hindu Mandirs Executive Conference came to an end on September 21. There were many thoughtful ideas presented about Hindu education in America, the subject of the conference.
Senthilnathaswami's Keynote presentation was the most beautifully crafted and acclaimed of the morning presentations. He had been asked to share how the monastery produces its books, resources and magazine, and his talk took everyone through the content collection, writing, proofing and design processes, with great graphics to make his points memorable. Big applause when it was over.
Like the day before, the swamis were a bit besieged in the hallways, so many wanting to tell us how they are using Himalayan Academy's printed resources in their communities, others wanting to share their latest academic paper or children's book for review in Hinduism Today. Clearly our publications and web resources have a bigger-than-you-know impact beyond Kauai's shores, in classes, in chaplain field work, in academic studies and more.
At the very end we were approached by Rahul Chandran, founder of World Hindu News out of Houston, Texas, for a brief interview on the work of the monastery and its global reach.
