A Hindu is anyone who believes in the diverse traditions that have evolved out of Bharat (India), and includes Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs, Vaishnavas, Saivites, Vedantins, and Saktis.

Who runs HSS?

HSS is a volunteer based organization. Nobody is paid. Some volunteers called vistaraks commit to volunteering several years full-time. Some volunteers called pracharaks commit their whole life for HSS work.

Day to day activities are managed by a team of volunteer officers appointed by Board of Directors as per its bylaws.

Are there elections? How is leadership and decision-making done?

HSS makes decisions based on consensus. There are no elections.

No. HSS uses its money for its own activities and does not send money abroad. There are many other organizations in the community for that purpose.

HSS is a volunteer based organization, not a member based organization. HSS has a unique method of managing its finances.

At the Guru Poornima festival, swayamsevaks may contribute financially and make their offering to the Bhagwa Dhwaj, as it is considered to be their Guru.
