And now we’re up against college professors disguising anti-Hindu rhetoric as academic freedom\, and states passing caste-based discrimination laws…what can we do about it?  \nJoin us in-person for a dynamic evening with two of HAF’s Co-Founders\, Suhag Shukla and Mihir Meghani. We’ll talk about current hot issues impacting the community\, and what we need to do together to empower the next generations of Hindu Americans.

The media – liberal or conservative – amplifies the extremes and those voices that bolster their narrative. Most no longer stick with facts. Rather “news” stories are peppered with editorialized commentary about particular individuals\, groups\, and traditions. All too often\, this editorializing is not based on accurate historical accounts or the realities on the ground\, but on the reporters’ or news outlets’ inherent biases. This is certainly the case in the reporting of India\, Hinduism\, and Hindus. \nOn December 1\, we’ll delve into understanding why these distortions happen\, the impact they have on our community\, and what HAF is doing about it. \nJoin HAF’s Executive Director\, Suhag Shukla\, for a lively discussion with Kushal Mehra and Abhijit Iyer-Mitra. \nKushal\, who runs the popular Carvaka Podcast\, is known for his outspoken views on Hindutva and the West’s misunderstanding of Hinduism and India. Abhijit\, a defense and international affairs analyst by background\, is a frequent commentator on all things India and Hindu. Together\, these two experts bring a fresh and unique perspective that is provocative\, witty\, and always entertaining. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_btn size=”jumbo” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” url=”https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_H8h8BoAVRhCAGkH6ZmJd8A” text=”REGISTER”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

This social/cultural mixer is for professionals between ages 21-40. ACCESS\, American Jewish Committee’s young professional division\, empowers Jewish leaders to advocate on behalf of critical domestic and global issues facing the Jewish community. Vegetarian food and beverages will be provided. \nOne of Hinduism’s most widely celebrated holidays\, Janmashtami\, is a festival to celebrate Krishna’s birth on the eighth day of the Hindu month of Bhadrapada. Krishna\, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu\, is considered to be both the source and ultimate form of the Divine and is worshiped through the process of bhakti yoga (path of loving devotion). Lord Krishna delivered the Bhagavad Gita (a sacred spiritual and philosophical text). Janmashtami is celebrated in the evening and devotees break their fast\, chant prayers and welcome lord Krishna into their homes by sacred food offerings. \nRosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and is a two-day observance and celebration. Rosh Hashanah commemorates the creation of the world. In Jewish practice\, the months are numbered starting with the spring month of Nisan\, making Tishrei the seventh month; Rosh Hashanah\, the first day of the new calendar year\, is also actually the first day of the seventh month. \nCelebrate these two beautiful festivals and traditions while enjoying great food and company.[/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_btn size=”jumbo” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”REGISTER BY AUG. 31″ url=”https://www.eventbrite.com/e/krishna-janmashtami-rosh-hashanah-interfaith-celebration-tickets-677571343127?aff=oddtdtcreator”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nQuestions?\nEmail Clara Cunradi at cunradic@ajc.org \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Vijay has spent the past seven years as a college chaplain\, mentoring hundreds of students. He taught Hindu Dharma traditions to students in universities in London\, Wales\, and America. \nThis is one webinar you and your parents shouldn’t miss.

When he gets into a fight at school\, his only way to avoid suspension is by doing mandatory lunchtime yoga classes. Cue his teacher\, who recently completed a 200-hour yoga course…Among many poignant themes\, Namaste Yoga is about the cultural appropriation of yoga\, and the effect that has on the self-worth of young Hindu kids. \nThis film speaks to the many of us who have grown up in a land and culture as a misunderstood minority. If you or your children have experienced the challenge of holding onto your roots while trying to assimilate into majority culture\, this film will speak to your heart. \nJoin us for this incredible film and for a Q&A session with its producer Ravi Chand. After Q&A\, please join us for Shivratri Havan\, Katha\, Arti\, and Pritibhoj. \nAgenda:\n4:00 – 5:30 PM – Screening and Q&A\n5:30 – 8:00 PM – Shivratri Havan\, Katha\, Arti followed by Pritibhoj \nThis is a free event\, however registration is required.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”1%” bottom_padding=”5%” id=”florida” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][vc_column centered_text=”true” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_btn size=”jumbo” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”REGISTER” css_animation=”pulse” url=”https://bit.ly/BayArea_NamasteYoga”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”1%” bottom_padding=”5%” id=”florida” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_custom_heading text=”Watch the trailer here” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fwarriortribefilms%2Fvideos%2F3763596507216913%2F|||”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][vc_custom_heading text=”About the Producer”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Ravi Chand\, the founder of Warrior Tribe Films\, is a TV and film producer\, director\, and writer based in Australia.

Suhag and Sundar will also discuss what the Dallas community will need to do when corporate caste policies come to Texas. \nTickets will be available to purchase soon.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_custom_heading text=”Featured Speakers:”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”12402″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Suhag Shukla\, Esq.\nHAF Executive Director and Co-Founder[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”16507″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” hover_animation=”none” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Sundar Iyer\nTechnology Entrepreneur[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

When he gets into a fight at school\, his only way to avoid suspension is by doing mandatory lunchtime yoga classes. Cue his teacher\, who recently completed a 200-hour yoga course…Among many poignant themes\, Namaste Yoga is about the cultural appropriation of yoga\, and the effect that has on the self-worth of young Hindu kids. \nThis film speaks to the many of us who have grown up in a land and culture as a misunderstood minority. If you or your children have experienced the challenge of holding onto your roots while trying to assimilate into majority culture\, this film will speak to your heart. \nJoin us for this incredible film and for a Q&A session with its producer Ravi Chand. Pizza and drinks will be provided. \nAgenda: \n1:30 – 2:00 PM – Pizza and drinks\n2:00 – 2:30 PM – Film screening\n2:30 – 3:00 PM – Q&A \nThis is a free event\, however registration is required.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”1%” bottom_padding=”5%” id=”florida” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][vc_column centered_text=”true” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][nectar_btn size=”jumbo” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” text=”REGISTER” css_animation=”pulse” url=”https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fMEsatw7nuIkVyng3YL0dFWOrRImoetvvZM_RYauxbs/viewform?ts=65de3825&edit_requested=true”][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”1%” bottom_padding=”5%” id=”florida” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_position=”left-right” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_custom_heading text=”Watch the trailer here” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fwarriortribefilms%2Fvideos%2F3763596507216913%2F|||”][divider line_type=”Full Width Line” line_thickness=”1″ divider_color=”default”][vc_custom_heading text=”About the Producer”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Ravi Chand\, the founder of Warrior Tribe Films\, is a TV and film producer\, director\, and writer based in Australia.
