Incredibly privileged to be able to represent NHSF (UK) as the only youth voice in such an important issue that affects our community. It is each of our responsibility to change the current narrative. Excited for @nhsf_uk National Donation Month - stay tuned! #wecandonate

Maa Brahmacharini symbolises calmness and bliss on the second day of #Navratri.

Avanish Mistry from @NHSFYork tells us how his mum's calm qualities inspire him to manage the stress of exams at university.

#TB to when we travelled to Chicago to the World Hindu Congress!

@nhsfqmhs: "One word to sum up the experience: 'vah'!"

@NHSFYork: "Seeing people of a similar age speak about topics affecting Hindu students brought a confidence boost. If they can do it, then why not us?" #TBT

Micchami Dukkadam to all!!

[NHSF Queen Mary Hindu Society @nhsfqmhs]

"Micchami Dukkadam". Say this to one - say this to all. A beautiful tradition in the Jain philosophy . Michhami Dukkadam" means - please forgive me. Isn't it lovely to ask for forgiveness from all your family, relatives, and friends ? https://t.co/WtRmwefIUx

It’s #WorldSuicidePreventionDay⁠ ⁠. Mental health is one of the key issues facing students across the world. By opening up when we’re struggling and being there for our friends, we can all help to change the situation on campus. #TimetoTalk

[NHSF York Hindu Society @NHSFYork]

Ekam sat vipraha, bahuda vadanti. The truth is one, wise men call it by different names. It’s is this kind of thinking that allows us to respect other religions and lifestyles as a way to help the individual thrive in the plural. Shri Venkaiah Naidu, closing #whc2018 #NHSFatWHC

[NHSF York Hindu Society @NHSFYork]

As we come to the end of #WHC2018 on behalf of NHSF York, it has been an honour to represent not only the chapter but also the Parivaar of NHSF whilst also learning about similar experiences of sibling organisations all around the globe!!

[NHSF (UK) @nhsf_uk]

Dharma is not ‘religion’ but comprises universal values of respect, honesty, love and more - our guiding principles as we pass through life. #WHC2018 #nhsfatwhc

[NHSF York Hindu Society @NHSFYork]

Very productive workshop occurring with the #HSYN . One of many incredible outcomes is the idea of frequently planned calls with our sisters and brothers around the globe to see & help overcome all difficulties and to remind ourselves of the bigger parivaar!! #WHC2018 #nhsfatwhc

[NHSF York Hindu Society @NHSFYork]

“Be yourself, don’t be afraid to be different” stirring message delivered in #HSYN for talks on politics and human rights. There is a huge need for representation of Hindus in politics not only to help the Hindus but to help the whole world develop #whc2018 #nhsfatwhc

[Drishti @Drishtii_]

Challenges to overcome include...

1.The tendency of our samaj to applaud or advise but not participate in arenas of representation.

2.The realisation of of why Hindu representation in Politics is important.

3. And the lingering Hindu inferiority complex.

[NHSF York Hindu Society @NHSFYork]

“In Dharmic Traditions, our main aim is to conquer ourselves” terrific quote during the media session by Karolina Goswami at #HYSN how can we help and understand others if we cannot understand ourselves and our Dharma and how can media help understanding us? #whc2018 #NHSFatWHC

If we believe in the existence of atman in the animate and inanimate world, then where is the scope for discrimination between men and women? - thoughts from #WHC2018 #WomenConference #nhsfatwhc
