about authentic Hinduism at the annual Hindu Students
Council retreat, meeting with Congressmen, speaking
at youth summer camps, and providing hundreds of people
with educational publications were some of the activities
of The Vedic Foundation this summer, begins this news
release. The foundation also traveled to eight cities
across the U.S. where volunteers greeted thousands
of visitors at their booths, raised awareness of how
Hinduism has been misrepresented over the past 200
years and informed the visitors of the need for re-establishing
the authentic teachings of Hinduism through educational
programs.

awareness and raise funds for its educational activities,
volunteers met with Congressmen and community leaders
to discuss the main themes of the foundation's programs--"Empowering
through Education" and "Changing Western

held on Capitol Hill in July. Attended by 400 Indian
American leaders and 100 Congressmen and Senators.
Appareddy also met with the Faith Based and Community
Initiative at The White House in Washington, DC. The

August
15th, 2004 will signify 57 years of freedom for India. Jawaharlal

Constituent Assembly at midnight on August 14, 1947. “At
the dawn of history India started on her unending quest…she
has never lost sight of that quest or forgotten the ideals
which gave her strength. We end today, a period of ill fortune
and India discovers herself again.” His speech inspired
us with ideals about a new beginning for India.

occupy India,

Intrigued
by the title, "The Greatness of Hinduism," Rakesh
Bhargava, an entrepreneur originally from Indore, wanted to
learn more about the Hindu scriptures so he joined the introductory
seminar offered by the Vedic Foundation. As a youth he felt
he received a good religous education from his parents, but
was unable to answer his own children's questions about Hinduism.
"My daughter asked me a question a few days ago and I
was able to explain her about soul, maya and God.
I could not have done this had I not taken the Study Group
which followed the seminar."...

types of questions posed to The Vedic Foundation represent
some of the common uncertainties among Hindus - especially
Hindus educated and living in the West. It was to educate
Hindus about authentic Hinduism that the Vedic Foundation
was formed. In addition, it was to precisely address these
types of questions logically, scientifically and scripturally
that “The True History and the Religion of India” was written....
