This is Harry Seetaran and his family. They are Guyanese Hindus now living in Hollis, New York. The Hindus from the Caribbean we always find to be so enthusiastic and committed to their Hindu culture. One of the effects of the earily diaspora of Indians who left India in the 1700's and early 1800's is that they were never exposed to the propaganda of the English in India where Indian intellectuals were deliberately taught to look down on their Hindu heritage and to become inculcated with western values and lifestyle. So, while many Hindus from India are embarrassed to dress like Hindus, by contrast Caribbean Hindus are often more likely to be found proudly sporting their Hindu culture and running dynamic Hindu mandirs.

THANK YOU, GURUDEVA!

For those who have been touched spiritually by Gurudeva's work, his books, his guidance, his inspired life and example and even his website, the "Thank You, Gurudeva Fund" has been established within Hindu Heritage Endowment.

Proceeds from this fund are forever, not a one-time gift, so gifts to this fund have an eternal gratitude built into them. They live on, in perpetuity.

Each month Gurudeva receives the income from the fund, to be used at his own discretion to promote his work and mission around the globe. He loves this, for he knows that it comes from all the good souls who have met him and studied with him, or traveled or just talked with him, over the years. A contribution to this fund is tax-deductible.

GURUDEVA'S MANY CYBERTALKS ARE NOW ONLINE

All of Gurudeva's Cybertalks are now on this site at:

You will find here over 200 Inspired Talks, thoughtfully organized, with thorough text descriptions (yes, they are searchable!) so you can find the subjects that are of deepest interest to you. We encourage everyone to go to the page, bookmark it and visit now and again to listed to the wisdom of our beloved Satguru. Wow! What a grand addition to our website this is! Thanks to the many talented hands that made this possible.

Some cancellations have happened and suddenly we have some space available on the ship! But not too much! So please do call us soon, if you have a yen to travel inside and outside you.
