Yoga and meditation are some of Hindu dharma’s important contributions to world civilization. Hindu dharma suggests that there can be peace in the world only if we can find peace within our hearts as individuals?

Hindus consider nature to be the expression of the divine feminine energy, called Shak•ti. That is why Hindus have many Devis or Goddesses: Saras•wati Devi, is the Goddess of Knowledge, Lak•shmi Devi, is the Goddess of Wealth and Dur•ga Devi is the Goddess of power.

Ayur•veda is known as mother of indigenous health knowledge to bring harmony in the body, mind and emotions. Did you know plastic surgery, in the form of nose reconstruction, was invented by ancient Hindus?

Sikh teachings emphasize standing up against bullying and hate. If you see someone being treated unfairly, remember that speaking up can make a difference. Let’s create a school culture where everyone feels safe and valued. #SikhHeritageMonth

Sikhs have been at the forefront of social justice movements. Whether fighting for farmers' rights, standing against racial discrimination, or advocating for religious freedoms, Sikhs believe in standing up for others. How can you contribute to a more just society? #SikhHeritage
