KAUAI, HAWAII, June 3, 2024 (Hinduism Today): The world Hindu Congress, held from November 24 to 26, 2023 in Thailand, was a clear sign of an unfolding Hindu renaissance. Speaker after speaker detailed how Hindus spiritually, economically and politically are regaining their traditional place in the world order. This is the third congress organized by the international World Hindu Foundation. The first was held in Delhi in 2014, the second in Chicago in 2018 and now the Covid-delayed third in Bangkok’s enormous Impact Centre convention facility.

With 2,100 participants from 61 countries, the event was opened by Swami Vigyanananda, the joint general secretary of the Vishva Hindu Parishad, Bharat, and founder of the World Hindu Foundation. Its aim, he said, “is to make the Hindu identity visible, respectable and acceptable worldwide, to make the words Hindu and Hindu Dharma popular and fashionable in modern society.” Hinduism Today itself was honored in the first plenary session, along with the Bharat Sevashram Sangha and the Mata Amritanandamayi Math. In presenting the plaque of recognition to Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, this magazine’s publisher, Shri Milind Shrikant Parande, secretary general of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, said the publication “is regarded as the single most [effective] advocate of Hindu Dharma outside of Bharat.”
