Hindu Centre is an independent, non-governmental organization dedicated to the spiritual progress of Hindus in Singapore through education (Jnana), devotion (Bhakti) and service (Seva). It is the Centre’s belief that head, heart and hand must be harmonized for spiritual progress to take place. 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.
The first-ever Singapore Festival of Hinduism (SFH 2020)
Hindu Centre Singapore is organizing the first-ever Singapore Festival of Hinduism from 20-29 November 2020 after Deepavali celebrations.
Hinduism is like a large banyan tree with many branches & roots, and this is the cause of many misconceptions and much misunderstanding. Yet Hinduism is deep & philosophical. It plays a huge part in the life and culture of many and impacts a significant number of people around the World.
The Festival is positioned as an inter-faith event to promote better knowledge and appreciation of Hinduism.
From quizzes, talks, yoga to Q & A sessions, there will be 23 events which you can catch on our Youtube & Facebook LIVE channels.
