A steady flow of grace—
or how Hinduism Today
helped us to reconnect
It all began when a member of the Krishnans' extended family discovered Hinduism Today about 20 years ago. Very gradually, one by one, sisters, uncles, husbands, nephews, grandparents, nieces, sons and daughters also began reading and appreciating the magazine, a process still going on today.
“It has reconnected us with our Hindu faith,” concludes Mrs. Sakuntalai Krishnan, a supervisor in Singapore’s police department. Mr. Krishnan is a retired executive for Shell Oil.
In 2001, ten members of the family pilgrimaged together from Singapore to Hinduism Today’s home in Hawaii, there to meet the founder, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami.
“Previously, our religious life consisted of periodic elation, following some talk or event, which would soon die down. Then we’d start all over again,” explained Mrs. Krishnan. “But Hinduism Today comes to us on a regular basis, bringing new knowledge with each issue, gradually making the big picture clearer. It is our constant flow of grace.”
“Because we all have the same inner understandings, our family finds it easier to be of one mind. Whenever something comes up, we don’t worry, knowing we’ll come up with a good solution soon enough. We feel fortunate and each time we meet someone who’s likely to appreciate the magazine, we give him or her a copy, or we’ll share a quote from it.”
The Krishnans have given generously to the Hinduism Today Production Fund, which is a part of Hindu Heritage Endowment. “It is our thank you. We want the magazine to help other families as it has helped ours. We are happy to see Hinduism Today’s growing presence in digital media, which captivates youth. We saw this firsthand with our son Vasaant, who has taken a keen interest in the magazine publisher’s presentations on the web."
If, like the Krishnans, you would like to contribute to the upliftment of families and youth, please consider donating to the Hinduism Today Production Fund or including it in your estate plan.
