Hinduism Today's
15-festival issue
is released
This is it!—our April-May-June 2010 issue that brings you all the information you'll probably ever need about our magical Hindu festivals. And it brings a fourth in our series of Hindu history lessons—another important breakthrough for presenting Hinduism fairly and accurately to school children.
15 articles
for 15 festivals!
—in one issue!
In response to a great need, our editors spent over two years gathering information, conceiving and beautifully designing this 15-part, 36-page super-article. It covers 15 of Hinduism's major festivals, of all parts of India and all denominations.
The result is illuminating, inspiring and is, in effect, a window onto the heart and spirit of Hinduism. You will want to share it all with your family, friends and yes—even the media.
Each article was formatted so as to be easily used by newspapers and magazines. PDFs of any and all of the articles may be downloaded without charge (note list beneath photo). These are ready to print, newspaper-sized posters, as in the photo. You are encouraged to approach local religion editors and offer these to them, preferably a few weeks before a given festival. They will be most receptive and you will have done much to promote understanding. Within a few days, you will also be able to download the same articles in a 2-page format appropriate for magazines—same URL as above.
Our fourth Hindu history lesson covers 1850 to 1947, a time of ruthless British domination and economic exploitation—and a time when Indians developed a national consciousness that blossomed into independence.
Here is your accurate and unbiased alternative to the aberrant, often degrading, material offered in school textbooks. Have the children read these lessons. Distribute them at your temple, send boxes to your contacts abroad. Have the schools in your locality use them in the classroom. This is a most noble cause.
Order Lesson 4 and previously published Lessons 1, 2 and 3, singly or in bulk.

• Living with Siva, Volume 2, is Gurudeva's guide to how to live—inwardly as well as outwardly to create a fulfilling future.
• Merging with Siva, Volume 3. Emphasis is on Hindu metaphysics: the inner bodies of man, the evolution of the soul, meditation, God-Realization and much more.
The three books may be ordered separately. But the three books together come with a substantial discount plus FREE SHIPPING.
The Trilogy is also available, in slightly abridged form, as pocket books. Keep the full set in your shrine or meditation room, and take the pocket books along when you go.
