Hindu
Students Council has taken up a unique project to
promote the understanding of Dharma. The word Dharma
literally means 'that which holds together' or 'sustains
a being' in a harmonious way. Dharma is a combination
of forces that sustain life and principles that lead
to the path of righteousness.
A
van, carrying literature and presentation on Dharma
will travel to various college campuses across North
America. During its visit to each college, several
events will be organized by HSC in association with
several local religious, spiritual, yoga, vegetarian,
environmental, animal and human rights groups to raise
the awareness about Dharma. This mission is called
Journey for J.U.S.T. (an acronym for Justice, Unity,
Spirituality and Truth).
Journey
for J.U.S.T. started on Sunday, January 26th, 2003
from the Vedanta Society in Hollywood California at
11:45 AM. The event was inaugurated and blessed by
Swami Swahananda Maharaj, followed by an inspirational
talk by Swami Sarvadevananda Maharaj from the Vedanta
Society.
After
traveling to various campuses in California for about
a week, the van will go to Texas and then to Florida.
After leaving Florida, it will travel to several campuses
in the South, East, and Mid-West and then arrive at
Edison, NJ where the Global Dharma Conference is being
organized from July 25-27. Over 5,000 people from
across the globe are expected to attend this conference.
We will distribute literature and promote the understanding
of Dharma as it travels.
The
Journey has been co-sponsored by Bikram's Yoga College
of India, Beverly Hills, CA and Hindu
University of America, Orlando FL.
