Malaysia Endowment Activities

July - August 2001 Newsletter

Swami with child

The Malaysian Hindu Youth Educational Trust was created by Kuala Lumpur attorney Arjunan Subramaniam in 1996. The trust funds the free distribution of the Saivite Hindu Religion Children’s Course--published by Himalayan Academy--making the texts available to Malaysia’s Hindu children to the greatest extent possible. To date hundreds of copies have been distributed throughout Malaysia. The most recent event took place last February when Yoginathaswami gave copies to a number of children at a ceremony in Ipoh (photo). The HHE fund is #16 with a balance of $10,449.26.

Manjung Orphanage
Class

In February, 2001 a grant of MR. 760 was given to the Manjung Hindu Sabha Orphanage Fund of Sitiawan in northern Malaysia. It is the first grant the orphanage has received and helps to support a group of 21 boys and girls, ages two to fourteen, who reside at the orphanage. Some of the children are not orphans but victims of neglect and abuse. They attend public school and take tuition classes for extra lessons. Religious activities include daily prayers, temple attendance once a week and on all festival days, plus religious classes on weekends. Monthly outings or picnics are held. Hindu homes are visited from time to time, and during hospital visitations the kids uplift the ailing. The staff, who play the part of parents to these young ones, have been working hard to make life bloom for them. It is fund #53 with a current balance of $9,530.32. Please help build this worthy endowment.

Memorial Funds

Establishing a memorial fund at Hindu Heritage Endowment in addition to honoring a deceased loved one can provide permanent financial support to the loved one’s favorite Hindu institutions or perhaps a temple in the town in which they were raised, an orphanage they supported, a swami’s ashram they regularly frequented. Through HHE’s unique global reach, the beneficiary institutions can be in any country globally. Two of our current memorial funds are described below.

The Sundari Peruman Memorial Fund was started by Markandeya and Ravi Peruman--husband and son of Sundari--both now living in California. The Fund welcomes donations from anyone who loved or admired Sundari Peruman. This endowment is dedicated to teaching Hindu children in America about their religion. Another memorial fund is the A. Shanmugam Family Fund which was created by Bala Shanmugam of Ipoh, Malaysia, in honor of his father. To establish the fund, Bala was joined by his mother, Sambugardevi, and other members of the family. This endowment gives a yearly grant to the Abirami Amman Temple at Thirukadaiyur, South India, and in turn the temple performs an archana on each full moon day.
