Coverage by Stanford DailySwami from SF’s Vendanta Society speaks on forging unity
among faithsApril 17, 2006
By Amna Aziz
“Mankind ought to be taught that religions are but the varied expressions of The Religion, which is Oneness, so that each may choose the path that suits him best.” These words, thundered by Swami Vivekananda at the 1893 World Parliament of Religions in Chicago, paralleled the atmosphere of a multi-faith event at Stanford on Saturday celebrating his life. Swami Vivekananda is universally regarded as a patriot saint of modern India.

Tagore Jayanti
Saturday May 14, 2005

![Page 16: Hindu Students Council](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022012922/568133a6550346895d9ab645/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Stanford students and members of the community completely immersed themselves in Tagore’s prolific poetry, prose, music, and dance this past Saturday (May 14, 2005). The Hindu Students Council organized a night to celebrate Tagore’s contribution in the History Corner. Rabindranath Tagore is a towering figure in the millennium-old history of Bengal who wrote on a vast variety of topics, ranging from Education, Feminism, Social Reform to voicing his controversial opinions against the popularized notions of Patriotism and duty towards one’s own Nation.

Our Classes
The HSC now offers two classes regularly each quarter.
Practical Spirituality focuses on one yoga each quarter – Karma, Gyana and Raja. Swami Vedananda of the Vedanta Society leads us in a group study and discussion.
Ashtanga Yoga used to be a part of Practical Spirituality and has been extracted into it’s own class due to popular demand. We now have two experienced instructors and a growing community of practitioners, and are indebted to the Jewish community for giving us a space.
