Many US states will celebrate Hindu Heritage Month in October

Efforts by Hindu organizations to get the Biden government to make a nationwide announcement

Hindu Heritage Month to be celebrated in Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Ohio and Massachusetts: Notification issued from Governor's Office

Houston: There is going to be a unique celebration in America. Hindu Heritage Month will be celebrated in October in Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Ohio and Massachusetts. In India, Diwali will be celebrated in those days. As Diwali is the most important festival of Hinduism, Hindu Heritage Manruth will be celebrated in the same period.

The Hindu Heritage Manruth will be celebrated in October in states like Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Ohio, Massachusetts due to the efforts of the Hindu community in America. A notification to that effect has been issued by the Governor's Office of these states. The entire month of October will be celebrated as Hindu Heritage.

An official statement said: The history of Hinduism is unique. The glorious heritage of Hinduism has improved and inspired the lives of countless people. This announcement has been made in view of the invaluable contribution of the people of Hinduism in America.

The role of many Hindu organizations is behind this announcement. People from the Hindu community made representations to the governors of the states. It has long been suggested that a special celebration of Hinduism be offered in the United States during the festive period around Diwali. That demand has finally been accepted by many state governments.

Now the Biden government has also been notified. Efforts are underway to have Biden declare nationwide and declare October a Hindu Heritage Mass. The decision was welcomed by organizations like World Hindu Council of America, Hindu Student Council of America, North American Hindu Organization, Vishwa Hindu Parishad.

Hindu leader Sanjay Kaul said that 3 million Hindus live in America. His contribution is considered very important in America. Their legacy needs to be given due respect.

Efforts are being made by the federal government to make such an announcement like the state governments. American VHP leader Ajay Shah said that people know very little about Hinduism. It is necessary for people to know about Sanatan Vedic religion and get acquainted with our philosophy. This is the best time for that.
