About Us
We come from various cultures and backgrounds to form a community that fosters Hindu culture and religious awareness within the Cornell and Ithaca community. We hold Bhajans (devotional prayers and songs) every Saturday at 4:00 p.m. in the Edwards Room of Anabel Taylor Hall, along with Bhagavad Gita Discussions (sacred Hindu scripture) at 5:00 p.m. We also have special Pujas (ceremony of gratitude) to celebrate the holidays of various gods and goddesses. Additionally, we try to hold and participate in various seva (selfless service) activities throughout the year, including Into the Streets and Relay for Life.

Hinduism is a conglomerate of diverse beliefs and traditions, in which the prominent themes include:
