“It was indeed a splendid idea several years ago to launch the Hindu University of America. The idea is as powerful today as it was then, and perhaps even more so as the current marketplace of ideas demonstrates a growing desire to learn more about the values enshrined in Hinduism through its practices, such as meditation, yoga, pranayama, and Ayurveda.”

“As Hindu University of America’s mission statement reveals, it represents a historic opportunity to reconsider the role and value of the humanities. I am hopeful that in the years to come the Hindu University of America will make a major contribution not only to Hindu studies and Hinduism but also to American academia itself by living up to the standards of critical inquiry and open debate.”
