Knowledge is superior to practice. Meditation surpasses
knowledge. As compared with meditation, renunciation
of the results of actions excels. From renunciation,
peace follows immediately.
Chapter
12, Srimad Bhagvad Gita

If Universities exist so that
students can enrich their mind, the Hindu Student
Council exists so that they can also enrich their
soul.
The purpose of the Hindu Student Council at George
Mason University is to educate students about the
values of Hinduism and its beliefs. It allows students
to experience and celebrate Hindu holidays and culture
in a relaxed family environment. The idea is to initiate
the learning of Hinduism by sparking an interest in
students at GMU, the goal is to inculcate the importance
of experiential learning of Hinduism in a setting
that is already conducive to education, and the hope
is that young students will realize the wealth that
Hinduism has to offer for their daily lives, and how
enriching religion and culture can be for their future.
This organization is not only restricted to those
who are Hindus but is open to all cultures and religions.
Help us create awareness of India's richness through
participating in our events - we're always open to
new ideas and new ways to expand our understanding
of the way of life we call - Hinduism.
