In view of this, Hindu Centre’s programmes and activities are organized and conducted for the purpose of enabling members to learn and become more informed about the basic philosophies and tenets of the Hindu faith, deepening and intensifying their sadhana or spiritual practice, while at the same time creating opportunities to engage in seva or service.
