#IAmAHinduAmerican

I love this new imitative that the Hindu American Foundation has put together!

They are encouraging all Hindu Americans to submit a headshot and a statement of how Hinduism inspires them. I’ve got mine in there!

The Hindu American Foundation (HAF) is hoping to educate the general American population about Hinduism. There are so many misconceptions and misunderstandings. So few people know anything about Hinduism. Many Americans don’t even realize that they know someone who is Hindu. It is often very quiet and private.

With Tulsi Gabbard poised to announce a presidential run, now is such an important time for non-Hindu Americans to learn more about their Hindu neighbors.

Also I’m delighted by the variety of faces on the site. Hindus of all colors and nationalities. Hinduism is for anyone who longs for truth.

There are multiple ways to find truth and peace and joy, but in my opinion none is so clear as the Hindu way.
