RAMJI had asked for more details on this project. I thought I will also write it up here, so that all people can understand the purpose of this project.
I have designed a game board to teach hindu phil and Dharma to all hindu adults (esp the teens or adults who were born and raised in USA or non-hindu lands) and children both in India and here. IT is a game board like yur chaturang or parchee-si (which those pandavas and Kauravas played and we call them game boards here) but w/o using money. The entire project idea and the proceeds go to the temple only, as I have no interest in taking any money for anything from such fund raisers. Please Contact Dr. Hemalatha Bukhane, m.d., at (630) 972-0300 or check your local pages for the HTGC # now please.
It will have a board, dice, playing coins, cards, 1,000 questions and answers from Hinduism, sin and consequences awareness, how a man born as a human being will become an animal or a lower form of life from committing sins due to ignorance, etc. It is very good and colorful fun. It is very educational for the entire family. There are many parents who do not know everything about Hindu phil or know how to reach their foreign born-very intelligent kids, who question to challenge everything from HInduism.
We can teach both parents and children at the same time! We need to do this 'immediately NOW" as Hindus are targeted for conversions by other religious groups daily in large numbers. Believe it or not! If you don't keep up w your hindu culture and tradtions, it will become extinct in future and that is what the other religions, esp christians want to see happen. Don't make a mistake about it.
We fund raise for Hindu Temple of Greater Chicago, as they have a very huge load of loans to pay for their community center project and other things. People have to receive some thing in return fo rthe money that they give as charity, even though all karmayoga phil says to give w/o expectations. But we think, The HTGC has also an outreach program that requires to be funded and the best way to do is to give and take.
We can't have any programs for the community of Hindus w/o their support initially to pay up all the loans that we have. We need Hindu parents to get majorly involved right now. Please contact the HTGC president and they may have set up a fund bank just for that. More questions, ask me later.
Thanks for asking and have a great day.
