09:02- Having founded Hindu University of America, how do you see a religion based University fitting in the secular world of education?
This several worlds has several religion based universities, be it Christian, Jewish or Muslim University. Hinduism, a religion followed by a billion people, has many times been misunderstood, so this is what gave the idea of why not a Hindu University.
10:36- Being a proud Sangh member do feel that sometimes it’s misunderstood as being intolerant, and how do you think it can be corrected?
The great land of India was invaded by several leaders from around the world, but among them the Britishers were the worst. They thought the only way to rule was to attack the culture of India and destroy two of the greatest Indian Universities, Taxila and Nalanda. Sanskrit language and literature was destroyed and western influence of English was emphasized.
Among other religions, Hinduism hasn’t had a good marketing strategy for its propagation. Unlike Christianity or Judaism, which have their own religious texts and are focused on teachings, Hinduism has lagged behind. This is why Hinduism-oriented institutions play an important role.
