“I have known and worked with HSC leaders for 15 years and feel proud of their sincerity, courage and hard work. I support their efforts and encourage other community leaders to join their activities. In fact, they are shouldering many of the responsibilities of traditional gurus and kshatriyas, by making sure that Hinduism is fairly represented on the US campuses.”

To see our youth becoming more and more spiritually inclined is truly inspiring. A transformation in the younger generation, a change in their perspective can create wonders.”

“HSC is a vitally important organization with the potential to shape the consciousness of the next generation of Hindus in North America. It is something that the Hindu community needs to nurture and encourage as much as possible. Meeting with the bright and motivated young people of the HSC inspired me with hope for the future. It has been a pleasure to work with them and I hope to have more such opportunities in the years to come.”

“My heartfelt congratulations to all those who are working very hard to spread the message of Dharma, especially to the second generation of Hindus living in this country. It is said that Dharma protects the one who practices Dharma. Our Pujya Gurudev Swami Chinmayanandaji believed that a country or the world can change only when each individual appreciates the value of living a Dharmic life. The total individual character becomes the character of a nation. Therefore, spreading the message of Dharma is in line with our Vedic culture. I am glad to seem that our Youngsters have taken up this great task.”
