Hinduism Today Hinduism Today is a magazine reporting Hindu Dharma in the broadest sense from social to spiritual issues. Surprisingly, it is run by western swamis. Hinduism Today had a similar approach as the groups I was working with in India. I began a dialogue with them, mainly on historical issues but also on Ayurveda and Vedic astrology and eventually on conversion issues. Hinduism Today was influenced by Ram Swarup and Sitaram Goel. They called Ram Swarup, "Perhaps Hinduism’s most cogent analyst." Subrahmanya Swami, the head and sadguru of the ashram, though born in the West, has come to embody the wisdom, virtues and ideals of Hinduism. He is an articulate writer and speaker on Hindu causes as his many books like Dancing with Shiva, Merging with Shiva, and Loving Ganesha so beautifully reveal. His western swami disciples are of a similar caliber, combining discipline, insight and dedication. They are particularly alert on the issues of the missionaries and the mischief they are causing within Hindu society. A few years later I visited their ashram in Hawaii, which is like a paradise, the astral plane on earth or swarga loka. It is a Shangri-La like setting on Kauai, the oldest and most verdant of the lush Hawaiian Islands, with wonderful gardens, waterfalls and pools.
