Do you have questions about estate planning? Planned giving? Your will? Each month, we feature new articles and interactive features. We also share news about the charitable funds under the umbrella of Hindu Heritage Endowment.

The Sri Subramuniya Ashram Scholarship Fund, fund #14, provides youth scholarships for monastic or priest training. It helps pay the travel and immigration expenses for youth who are interested in monastic life or priest's training under the guidance of the Kailasa Peetham and who would come and stay in the devasthanam.

So that Hinduism Today may be there when needed most

From the time they were founded by Gurudeva (Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami), I have seen Hinduism Today and the monastery that produces it grow by leaps and bounds,” explains cardiologist Dr. Shun Sunder of Lancaster, California. “I have seen the old versions of Hinduism Today and the new versions of Hinduism Today, and the addition of modern technology. Under the leadership of Gurudeva‘s successors, it has grown to be a truly global, dharmic magazine.”

Three generations pulling together in the same direction: Above, Dr. and Thilaka Sunder. Below, their two sons with families, Sarmela, Anthan, Sayini, Luxman and third-generation Sahana and Sayan.

Dr. and Thilaka Sunder have made the Hinduism Today Production Fund a beneficiary of their life insurance—quite generously so. And they have also made it a beneficiary of the life insurances of their two sons, Luxman and Anthan, who give support to the magazine in various ways.

“We have done this to follow Gurudeva, who taught that it is our sacred duty to transmit our religion and culture to future generations, and that among the best ways to accomplish this is through supporting the Production Fund that sustains Hinduism Today. Giving is also our way of thanking Gurudeva for sharing his vision with us and the world, and our way of keeping that vision alive.

“With my children’s participation, we constitute two generations pulling in the same direction. I plan to one day donate in my grandchildren’s names, too, so that we’ll be three generations joining in this most noble work. “I cannot imagine a more worthy cause. Let us all join in! All Hindus can be a part of this effort. We can together make sure that our magazine will always be there to bring light to those who need it most­­­—and to future generations who, as I see it, will need it even more than we do.”
