2. AKHAND BHARAT WILL BE A REALITY SOON: DR. BHAGWAT :
Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) Sarasanghachalak Dr. Mohan Bhagwat on 13th
April said that Akhand Bharat is going to be a reality soon .
Dr. Bhagwat said that philosophers like Sri Aurobindo had said that Bharat will
rise as it is the wish of Vasudeva (Lord Krishna) and he always had full faith
in what Swami Vivekananda and Sri Aurobindo had said about Bharat.
“The speed at which we are moving towards our goal may take 25-30 years to
achieve. But if we work together and accelerate the present speed, the time may
be halved,” he said.
He further said: “We should remember Shri Krishna‘s words in the Gita in which
he talks about protection of the good. We should also not forget that the wicked
have to be destroyed. Bharat has welcomed in its fold all sorts of people from
across the world. The good are to be assimilated, the less good are to be
corrected, but the wicked must be rejected”.
He also said that no one can stop Bharat from achieving its goal and that
those trying to impede the country’s march forward will either move away or fade
away.

5. GURU TEGH BAHADUR EPITOME OF BHARATIYA TRADITION OF
SACRIFICE: Reminding that the 9th Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur gave up his life
for his ideals, Pradhan Mantri Narendra Modi on 21st April said his balidan
should be seen as a continuation of great sacrifices made by our Rishis and
Gurus to defend and preserve the great heritage and tradition of Bharat and not
as a separate event.
Addressing the nation from the Red Fort to mark the 400th birth anniversary of
Guru Tegh Bahadur, the PM said, “In front of Aurangzeb’s tyrannical thinking,
Guru Tegh Bahadur became ‘Hind di Chadar’ and stood like a rock. This Red Fort
is a witness that even though Aurangzeb severed many heads, he could not shake
our faith.” The Red Fort was chosen as the venue for the event as it was here
that Mughal ruler Aurangzeb had given orders for the execution of Guru Tegh
Bahadur in 1675.
Following the Shabad Kirtans like “Hari ko naam sada sukhdayi” by 400 Ragis, PM
Modi wearing a Sikh turban released a postal stamp and a commemorative coin on
the Sikh guru. The PM recalled the tremendous services of the ten Gurus. “Guru
Nanak Dev ji united the whole country in one thread. Guru Tegh Bahadur’s
followers are everywhere. Patna Sahib in Patna and Rakabganj Sahib in Delhi, we
see ‘Ek Bharat’ everywhere in the form of Guru’s wisdom and blessings,” he said.

6. RECONSTRUCTION OF RAM JANMABHOOMI TEMPLE WILL HERALD A
NEW PHASE FOR AYODHYA: UPRASHTRAPTI M VENKAIAH NAIDU: Reconstruction of the
Ram Janmabhoomi temple is not simply a high point in Bharat’s cultural history,
it will also herald a new phase in the economy and development of the ancient
city of Ayodhya, and nearby areas, Uparashtrapati M Venkaiah Naidu said on 15th
April. Shri Naidu’s statement came after he, along with his spouse Smt. Usha
Naidu, visited the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple site in Uttar Pradesh’s Ayodhya. They
were accompanied by the Governor Anandiben Patel and the Deputy Chief Minister
Keshav Prasad Maurya.
Shri Naidu said that the message of the Ramayana has universal significance and
transcends geographical boundaries and that different adaptations of this
timeless epic are hugely popular across various South East Asian countries like
Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos.
“The rebuilding of Shri Ram Temple in Ayodhya symbolises Bharat’s cultural
renaissance and our renewed commitment to the principles of Ram Rajya – a vision
of democratic and righteous governance which ensures peace, justice and equality
for all,” he added.

MY TRIP INTO YOUNG HINDU-AMERICAN MINDS
How do hindu
children practice their faith in America? What support do they get? What
challenges do they face? How do they go about dealing with them? These are some
of the questions that have always intrigued me as a growing Hindu American
myself.
Wondering how to find the answers, I realized I could do a study along the lines
of the surveys of the youth of India, Nepal and Mauritius that have appeared in
recent issues of Hinduism Today. There’s a big difference between those surveys
and mine, however: age. While their definition of “youth” began in the 20s and
cut off somewhere around 35, mine was 10 to 18, the American definition.
I created a questionnaire in discussion with friends and family and drawing on
my own understanding of topics that relate to Hindu Americans. I set up the
survey in Google Forms and made sure it was simple to fill out and not too long.
The survey included multi-choice questions on topics such as language,
traditions, food, yoga and praying habits. It also asked questions which
required written answers, such as “Has anybody made a rude comments about
Hinduism to you; if so, how did you react?” Or “To you, what is the best thing
about Hinduism?”
The survey received responses from Maryland, California, New Jersey, Texas,
Illinois and Arizona. Thirty-nine respondents provided a fascinating journey
into the young Hindu American mind. Let’s walk through it!
Influence of Language: Twenty-eight of the respondents speak their mother tongue
at home, including Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, Punjabi, Marathi, Pahadi, Gujarati,
Malayalam, Tulu, Saurashtra, Hindi and Urdu. Since all also speak English, this
means that 28 of 39 are bilingual. Brain science studies have showed that a
multilingual brain develops more densely, enhancing problem solving, cognitive
and diverse thinking skills. How amazing is that?
Diwali celebrations at home
Practicing Yoga: Twenty-eight practice yoga at home, more than I had expected.
Of those, all said they do it for physical benefits, and about half said they
practice it for mental and spiritual benefit as well.
Food Habits: All of the participants’ families cook Indian food at home at least
once a day, and 30 of them more than once a day. It is encouraging that the
respondents eat Indian food so often, because Indian food has been well
established for centuries and is very healthy and balanced.
Religious Influence: There were multiple influences in each child’s growth as a
Hindu, starting with the parents of 37 respondents. It goes without saying that
leading by example is best, right from attending puja to wearing a bindi and
Indian clothes.
It was more unexpected to find that 30 of those surveyed said their grandparents
had a direct influence on them. Most grandparents visit the US only once in a
few years and then only for a few months; and we kids visit the grandparents in
India also only once in a few years, and also only a few months. Yet, they still
have such a strong impact on us.
Pro-Tip: Parents, try to bring grandparents to the US more often!
Twenty-six said they were influenced by Hindu religious movies. This was more
than various cultural classes which stood at 22, or books such as the Amar
Chitra Katha series which were at 21. This data point needs a closer look. The
influence of Indian media is impressive, given the fact that the kids mainly
watch mainstream American movies.
Pro-Tip: I personally see a huge opportunity for media movies or animations
created specifically to serve Hindu American children and contribute to their
development.
Five of those surveyed said they were influenced towards Hinduism by doing
pilgrimage with their parents.
Pro-Tip: Hey kids! When you are in India insist that your parents visit places
of pilgrimage such as Varanasi and Mathura. Even local pilgrimages when visiting
your ancestral home can be great learning opportunities.
Only five said they learned about Hinduism on their own. That shows
hand-holding is very important.
Wearing Indian Clothes: All of the respondents have worn Indian clothes. Six
said they wear Indian clothes at least once a week and nine said they wear them
at least once a month. Most said they only wear Indian clothes in conjunction
with festivals. When they wear Indian clothes outside of Indian places, such as
at school, most got positive or neutral responses. For example, Aanchal Kale
wrote, “I get comments like, ‘Wow, what a beautiful dress, where did you get
it?’ ”
Knowledge of Hindu Literature: The diversity of responses to this question not
only provided a peek into the books kids enjoy, but also added to my own reading
list.
The Ramayana and Mahabharata were the best known, with nearly all of the kids
familiar with both. The works of modern saints such as Swami Vivekananda were
inspiring to 24 of the participants. Twenty- five knew of the Pancha Tantra
stories and the Vedas. Books on historical figures such as Shivaji Maharaj are a
source of inspiration for 16. Lesser- known literature included the
Natyashastras on dance and theater, the Puranas, the songs of saints such as
Kabir, and Tamil literature such as Tirumurai.

Religiousness Compared to Parents: Twenty-three respondents feel they are as
religious as their parents, while 16 said they are not as religious. No one said
they are more religious than their parents, which I didn’t find surprising.
Home Shrines: While all respondents say they have a home shrine of some kind,
only 24 pray daily at home. Seven pray at least once a week, and five at least
once a month. These responses were similar to those about how often they visited
the temple. Seven go once a week, 9 once a month, 21 only for festivals, and 6
rarely.
Cultural Activities: As someone passionate about karate and bharata natyam, and
trying to balance time myself, I have been interested in knowing what cultural
activities appeal to kids my age. The responses were diverse.
Classical singing, including Carnatic and Hindustani, was the most popular
activity, attended by 17 out of the 39 respondents. Second was language classes
of Hindi, Sanskrit, Kannada or Tamil, attended by nine. Seven practice classical
dances such as bharata natyam and kathak. Five attend cultural weekly programs
such as balagokulam, dharma classes or Bhagavad Gita chanting. Three play
instruments, such as the bansuri flute. One respondent is not attending any
cultural classes.
Interestingly, only one person goes to yoga class. It likely means that many
kids are learning yoga from their parents or in other ways, since in a previous
question we learned that 28 are practicing it.
Rudeness Due to Faith: With the question of experiencing rudeness due to being
Hindu, 12 respondents confirmed that they have indeed faced it. The intensity
varied from blunt insults (“bindis look like blood”) to misinformed attacks on
the religion right in the classroom: “My 5th-grade history teacher spent a long
time berating Hindu practices, without giving any context. As I was in 5th
grade, I ended up getting very angry and mad at him, but he simply wouldn’t
listen and sent me to the principal’s office.”
Neelakshi Iyer reported this attempt at conversion: “Mom once invited our
Christian neighbors for Navaratri and our neighbor told her that these Gods
aren’t God, only Jesus is.” Meenakshi Iyer got one along similar lines: “Someone
told me Hindus don’t believe in evolution and our Gods aren’t real Gods. At
first, I tried to explain the concept to her but she didn’t listen, so I ignored
her and walked away from the conversation.”
Hindu Activities at School: The response I got to this question surprised me: 23
respondents have conducted some sort of Hindu activities at school. Of those,
nine said they gave a Diwali presentation and an equal number did a yoga
demonstration, usually Surya Namaskar. For example, Spoorti recounted, “In
elementary school, my family and I conducted a Diwali art project, and also
taught my classmates about Diwali. We have taught the Surya Namaskar in my
sister’s class, and the teacher really liked it.”
How to Be a Better Hindu: Responses to this question fell into two approaches:
1) follow traditions and practices and 2) learn about Hinduism, including
educating others. One respondent felt they should focus more during the monthly
full-moon havana, while another said they should pray daily and go to the temple
more.Garba dance practice just prior to Diwali celebrations
One seeks to “be educated about my culture and able to clear up misconceptions
that people have.” And another: “I think I should educate myself on the
past—Hindu philosophy, mythology, and other ideas and things that derived from
Hinduism.”
Although most of the responses fit under those two categories, some respondents
had rather different thoughts: “I don’t think there’s such a thing as a ‘good
Hindu.’ Everyone practices in a way that is right for them.”
Applying Dharma in Daily Life: When it came to practice, most responses
emphasized either being respectful to all or participating in puja and prayer.
By far at the top was being respectful and responsible towards others. This
included not only elders and humans but also animals and plants. The feeling
came out from 16 respondents in many beautiful ways. Typical responses were,
“accepting everyone for who they are, and by respecting life around me,” “don’t
take life of an innocent animal,” “protect nature and Mother Earth” and “I do
not take the life of an animal just so I can fill my stomach.”
Several responses related directly to karma. One said, “I try to help my parents
and my brother out when I can, to get positive karma. I don’t cheat in school,
to prevent negative karma.” Another answered, “Follow dharma as daughter,
sister, student.”
Acceptance of human beings irrespective of differences is a direct way the kids
apply Hinduism’s teachings. As one put it, “Respect others, respect everyone,
even those with differences.” And another, “by accepting everyone for who they
are, and by respecting life around me.”
Respecting elders has been an ancient tradition, and several called it out as
way to apply dharma in daily life, for example, “Ask elders for blessings” and
“treat elders with respect; touch their feet.”
Puja or prayer was important to 16. One said, “I do pujas with my family,
especially during major festivals.” Another said, “I seek Ganesha’s blessings
every time we buy or start something new.”
The Best Thing about Dharma: The spirit of this question was for respondents to
express the one thing they like the most about their faith. To me, it was among
the most revealing questions. Thirteen respondents talked about Hinduism’s
flexibility. One, Yagnee Makwana, wrote, “I think one of the best things about
Hinduism is that it is open. There is no rule that you have to be Hindu to
follow certain things in Hinduism, or to do things that are in Hindu culture.
Hinduism is accepting of all religions, races, genders, sexualities and more.”
Sowmya Venkatesh stated, “Hinduism is the epitome of cultural refinement and
wisdom.”
Conclusion
While this survey serves as an baseline to peek into the young Hindu-American
mind, there are opportunities to reach a wider group in future studies. The
group in this first study all had a shrine at home, which means we were reaching
fairly religious families. In the future, I’d like to collect random samples
such as asking Hindus I see in front of grocery stores.
I would love to get insights on their media habits that help them shape them as
Hindus. Yes, over half said they were influenced by movies, but I’d like to know
more—the language, period and themes of the movies. I also want to try to
conduct this survey in India to compare the results, and see how living in a
different country can affect one’s upbringing as a Hindu child.
The responses to my survey were vibrant and true to the principle of “Unity in
Diversity” that is common in India. The survey responses reflected diverse
viewpoints, yet, at the same time, there were common patterns. I got introduced
to so much with this small survey—about kids’ practices, families, inspirations.
The opportunities that this survey discovered can bind us further together, as
young Hindu minds are fascinating! -- (https://www.hinduismtoday.com)
