For academic year 2011-12, YFS volunteers have chosen students after painstakingly verifying their background and meeting each student personally. The chosen students are from families whose annual family income does not exceed Rs 20,000. In some cases it is as low as Rs 5,000.

HinduYUVA is proud to organize its annual charity event of screening blockbuster movie Rang De Basanti.

When: Saturday, 30th April, 3pm – 7pm

Cost:  $10

All proceedings will go toward Vidya Daan alone! Additional voluntary donations at the venue are most encouraged!

RSVP on facebook event page and buy your ticket now!

You can also make a voluntary donation to the cause directly or below.  Sponsor one child for a year by making a donation of $90, in which case you’ll get status report of the student twice a year.

Monthly Bouddhik Evening


Continuing our tradition of somebody sharing information about a particular topic, we present a talk on “Introduction to Indian Philosophy” by Jagdish Pandey.

Where: CSE403, Paul G. Allen Center, University of Washington
When: 7:30pm to 8:30pm, April 23, 2011
Cost: Nothing, but your inquisitive self :)

Here is the link to the facebook event page. Please RSVP there to receive any further messages regarding the talk.

Talk abstract: “India philosophy is extremely diverse as with anything Indian, and its roots can be traced back to ancient times. In this talk, we will attempt to understand the broad categories of Indian philosophy along with their primary differences and characteristics. We will broadly cover both theistic and atheistic schools of thoughts and trace their chronological development. Specifically, Hindu, Sikh, Bouddh and Jain traditions or the Dharmic traditions will be examined in more detail and their common bases and differences will be highlighted.” – Jagdish.

Monthly Bouddhik Evening (2nd in the series)

Posted by hinduyuva on Apr 02 2011 | Past Events


The talk was given by Santhosh Narayana on “Corruption Modern India: A political or Cultural Phenomenon”. The response was really good with about 25 people attending the talk with full enthusiasm.






We are sharing the talk here (download link). If you would like to use these slides and require access to editing them, please email us.


We started the concept of Bouddhik evenings to initiate a forum where people can share their knowledge with others. The basic idea is that someone who has been reading about certain topic or is an expert at something gives a talk to the audience followed by a Q-A session (total of one hour). The idea is to hold it once every month. If you would also like to present something, please contact us at hyuva@uw.edu.
