Festivals
Celebrate Traditions, Embrace Unity
Hindu
festivals are exuberant expressions of our ancient culture with a definite
influence on the identity of the local, indigenous peoples and even places
across India. They provide a sense of collective belonging which, in turn,
leads to common cultural practices and shared histories. Hindu festivals, most
of them celebrated since time immemorial, continue to energize communities to
come together, pray, eat, sing and dance in a unique expression of joy and
devotion. Their role in keeping alive Dharma in the minds of a billion-plus
souls cannot be overstated. For any average Hindu, his/her cultural identity is
rooted in our festivals. Plus, the sheer diversity of rituals and practices in
Hindu festivals is mind-boggling.
In spite of thousands of foreign invasions that destroyed several thousand temples across Bharat, in spite of millions of Hindus killed
over last two millennia in the name of religion and in spite of relentless
organized attempts to convert gullible Hindus into other faiths, Hindu
civilization continues to survive. In fact, Hinduism is the only surviving remnant
of ancient world civilizations.
Hindu survival over time is
inextricably linked to Hindu festivals. Hinduism, as a religion, is not rooted
in imposed oddities on groups and individuals. The expression of oneness among
Hindus of all hues happens through festivals. The collective joy and the
invisible spiritual vibrations of festivals bring us together, lift our Dharmic
strength, gave us infinite resilience to survive invasions, genocides and the
most brutal persecutions. Numerous tyrants have come and gone, but none of them
have been able to decapitate the spirit of festivals in Bharat.
Dharmic festivals are the
keystones of Hindu Samaj!
Hit that which brings Hindus together
There is a two-thousand-year continuity in the thought process on how to eradicate Hinduism and Hindus from the
face of the earth and the purveyors of such ideologies have never stopped
trying.
So, what are they doing?
Attack Hindu festivals which bring to life their universe-embracing, spiritual and peaceful way of life. Leave them with nothing to draw joy and unity from! For that to happen, as we can easily notice, this is what is being done:
A Hindu Disconnected From His/Her Roots is Easy to Convert
Hindu society needs to understand this existential threat to our culture,come together and take corrective action, Every Hindu must celebrate every local,Hindu festival with full enthusiasm. We must pass this civilizational torch to our children so that succeeding generations of Hindus will celebrate the richness of Hindu civilization and the beauty of Sanatana Dharma.
So, how do we stem the tide and empower the indigenous people to take charge and save our Festivals?
HINDU FESTIVAL SUPPORT FUND
The worst victims of this continuous dissolution of
traditions have been the hundreds of millions of poor Hindus living in villages
and small towns across the Indian sub-continent who have still not lost touch
with their Dharmic roots. Every year, they eagerly wait to celebrate their age-old
festivals and start preparations months in advance. They derive a deep sense of
satisfaction and pride from these occasions. Families come home from all across
the world, strengthening personal and cultural bonds.
However, in the modern
world, many Hindu festivals are dying off not only due to external threats but also
internal threats. The primary internal threat is the fact that poor Hindus are
simply unable to afford any festive rituals and celebrations.
Indigenous Hindus should be recognized as the primary
guardians and interpreters of their cultures, arts and sciences, whether
created in the past, or developed in the future.
In order to protect their culture and heritage, Hindus
(indigenous people) of India must be helped to control their traditional ways
of cultural transmission. Thus, it becomes clear that our festival-culture must
be kept alive at all costs.
The effective protection of the diverse heritage
of Hindus will benefit all humanity. Cultural diversity is essential to the
adaptability and creativity of the human species as a whole.
To
help such impoverished Hindu communities and keep indigenous cultures alive,
Dharmansh USA decided to start an ongoing support fund to provide financial
help to needy communities ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
DONATE GENEROUSLY WITH ALL YOUR DHARMMIC
WILLPOWER!

Help Protect Hindu Festivals & Celebrations
Poor Hindus who don't even know that there is an external force at work wanting them to stop following their traditions, stop celebrating their festivals and finally, stop being Hindus!
We are working overtime to keep the Sanatana traditions alive through our age old festivals and celebrations.
These activities need financial support from the Hindu Samaj. We are committed to support poor Hindu communities in the remote villages and provide them with the aid they need to keep the Hindu festivals alive. However, we cannot do it alone.
