The past few days, I have been reading a wonderful magazine by name ‘Hinduism Today’ published by the Kauai’s Hindu Monastery, based out of Kauai island in Hawaii. As per their website http://www.himalayanacademy.com, they practice the Tamil Saiva tradition of Hindu worship which is originally popular in Tamil Nadu (India) and in Sri Lanka. The monastery has a well equipped publishing team and they are doing a great and noble service of publishing excellent books and magazines on Hinduism which covers a range of topics from Vedantic philosophies to modern Hindu traditions and lifestyles. Their quarterly magazine Hinduism Today www.hinduismtoday.com has very insightful articles and commentaries on Hindu Dharma, interviews and news clippings related to Hinduism. The monastery also has published a book on ‘What is Hinduism’ which can be downloaded free as PDF copies from their website http://www.hinduismtoday.com/modules/wfdownloads/viewcat.php?op=&cid=2. This book will also make a great option as gift for others who may be new to Hinduism or would like to know more about it. I heard that some Hindu communities across the US are conducting discussion groups among adults and kids in temples and other community centers where a chapter from this book is read regularly.
Hari Om.
