MissionThe Stanford Hindu Students Association was founded at Stanford with a threefold mission:1. To foster an environment that brings together Hindus from all parts of the world who believe in the fundamental principles of love and respect of humanity and all that lives.2. To lay claim to the ancient legacy of the sages that is open to all mankind, and study it with an open, scientific mind as the ancients have recommended.3. To understand Hinduism in the modern context through the works and vision of Swami Vivekananda.Since its foundation, it's been a socially active and vibrant group doing multiple big events every year, along with weekly philosophical discussions and aartis.
