Hindu Swayamsevak Sangha

Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) is a voluntary, non-profit, social and cultural organization. Sangh, as the organization is popularly known, aims to organize the Hindu community in order to preserve, practice, and promote Hindu ideals and values. HSS conducts structured programs of regular athletic and academic activities to develop strong character and leadership skills in its members (known as swayamsevaks for men and sevikas for women), emphasizing values such as self-discipline, self-confidence and a spirit of selfless service (seva) for humanity. We encourage maintaining Hindu cultural identity in harmony with the larger community.


Samskrita Bharati

संस्कृतेन सम्भाषणं कुरु जीवनस्य परिवर्तनं कुरु [samskritena sambhashanam kuru jivanasya parivartanam kuru] = Speak in Sanskrit & Transform Life!
Samskrita Bharati, a non-profit organization, is primarily dedicated to the mission of popularizing Sanskrit as a spoken language. Moving beyond veneration of Sanskrit as a classical or exotic language, Samskrita Bharati seeks to make this a contemporary language whose everyday usage becomes customary and widespread.

Dwarapalakas

The role of Dwarapalakas, as the name suggests, is to keep Adharma out of Dharmic interests. We dialogue with Temples, Academia, Media, and Hindu organizations for an inclusive and equitable world that has multiple beliefs and faith systems. Peace, through better understanding, are the goals.
