>Dear Friends,

> During these days, after September 11, of great sadness,

>anger, as well as suspicion and misunderstanding between people,

>especially toward anyone who looks foreign, there is a huge need for

>increased awareness of who are our neighbors and what are their

>cultures. To help fill this need is an important and free "e-booklet"

>which provides a quick and deeper understanding of the Vedic path,

>commonly called Hinduism. It explains what it stands for, its

>peaceful nature, and some of the elementary points that

>differentiates it over all other religions.

>

> This 22 page booklet is called "Why Be a Hindu: The

>Advantages of the Vedic Path," and is available at:

> It is a tool to be used by anyone to help preserve, protect

>and expand the knowledge within the Vedic philosophy and its

>spiritual way of life. It is an "e-booklet" to allow everyone to use

>it and pass it along in as many ways as necessary. It is written for

>a wide and general audience, but is especially meant to help inform

>others of distinct advantages in the Vedic process from which a

>person can benefit. It is meant to be read or downloaded from the

>website, or distributed and sent to others who could use it through

>emails, or printed out to be given on paper. It can be sent to radio
