Sixth Year of Health for Humanity - Yogathon!
Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh USA (HSS) announces the sixth annual Surya Namaskar Yajna also known as "Health for Humanity - Yogathon", to create awareness about Yoga and its advantages in achieving a healthy body, mind and spirit.
Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS), USA volunteers and fitness enthusiasts from all across the nation began the sixth year of annual “Health for Humanity Yogathon” or "Surya Namaskar Yajna (SNY)" by offering 69190 Surya Namaskars in 88 different places from 27 states. In a nationwide wave or lehar, 1984 participants performed total 5322 sets of Surya Namaskar (13 Surya Namaskars per set) starting from the East coast and ending in the West coast between 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM local time.
Coinciding with the national Teacher Appreciation Week celebrated during the month of May, the Hindu Education Foundation held the fifth annual Teacher’s Appreciation program called ‘Guru Vandana’ throughout the USA to highlight the importance of the Teachers in shaping the future citizens of the country.
Guru Vandana means “Reverence for the Teacher” – it is the thanksgiving from a student to a teacher, expressing his/her gratitude.
Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh USA offers our deepest condolences to our Sikh sisters and brothers in Oak Creek, Wisconsin. With our common heritage and history, American Sikhs and Hindus share a unique bond unlike any other two religious communities. We pray that the souls of the deceased find peace. We commend the bravery and heroism of the members of the congregation and the Oak Creek first responders.
