Dear Friend of Dharma,

 

I know you are someone who cherishes your personal spiritual heritage of Sanatana Dharma.

You have tasted the sweet fruits of spiritual sustenance, encouragement

and guidance in your own life, and you understand just how much our

troubled world needs to hear the peaceful, life-affirming teachings of

the Vedic tradition - now more than ever.

 

As our youth, especially, desperately search for meaning in their

lives, you know that Dharma spirituality provides the essential tools,

the ethical foundation and the guiding wisdom necessary to equip our

young people with the ability to achieve every good thing that they

desire in this world - both materially and spiritually.

 

I am writing to you today to personally ask you to help share Sanatana

Dharma with our youth, and with so many in our world today, who so

sincerely yearn to experience the hope, fulfillment and compassion that

only God's loving grace can provide.

 

God has blessed your life in so many ways, now giving you the ability

to in turn help so many others by directly supporting Dharma.

 

The International

Sanatana Dharma Society (ISDS) is an extraordinary organization

incorporated in the United States as a tax-exempt, non-profit under

section 501©(3) that is currently in the process of purchasing a

building in Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A., as the beginning phase of an

international ashram project. The unique Center for Dharma Studies

ashram is a dynamic Hindu project designed to serve as a state-of-the-

art, global resource center for sustaining and teaching every aspect of Dharma spirituality and culture.

 

The center will host Satsangs, Hindu Youth Celebration events,

seminars, Vedic scripture classes, and workshops by many of the world's

leading Hindu Dharma teachers; house one of the nation's best Sanatana

Dharma libraries; host a massive Hindu multimedia center; as well as

operate a natural health facility and school offering such traditional

Hindu healing modalities as Ayurveda and Yoga.

 

The center is directed by Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya (Dr. Frank Morales,

Ph.D.), who is recognized globally as one of the Hindu world's most

qualified and authentic spiritual teachers. Sri Acharyaji leads a

professional teaching staff trained to offer some of the best classes

on Hindu Dharma available in the world today.

 

In the few months that we have been fundraising, we have raised over

$110,000. Currently, we only need another $90,000 to make this

crucially important ashram project a reality.

 

This new Dharma center and ashram can only become a reality with your

commitment to providing the donations necessary for the initial

purchase of the ashram. It is stated in the sacred Mahabharata: dharmo rakshati rakshitaha, "Those who preserve Dharma are likewise protected by Dharma."

 

By investing generously in the new Center for Dharma Studies ashram,

you are directly ensuring the future preservation of Dharma, and

directly invoking for your life and for your family the many blessings

of the divine Devas and Devis of the heavenly realm, and the divine

benevolence of Bhagavan.

 

We are now only $90,000 away from making this vision of a global Center

for Dharma Studies a concrete reality. Thus time is critical. If you

would like to help support this important project for Dharma during

this exciting time, please make your end of the year contribution

today. All donations are tax-deductible.

 

If you donate $1,000 or above anytime between now and the end of January, 2010,

your name will be prominently displayed on a golden plaque in the

ashram's "Builders of Dharma" wall display for all visitors to see.

 

Your donations will be directed 100% toward ashram development. For

your convenience, you can offer your donations online today at:

Or you may write a check or money order to: "International Sanatana Dharma Society".

Aum Shanti,

Endorsements of Sri Acharyaji's Work

 

"Dr. Frank Morales represents the Sankalpa [the will] of the Hindu

people and the cause of Sanatana Dharma. I urge all Hindus everywhere

to give him your full support, assistance, and encouragement in his

crucial work. He needs and deserves our help."

 

- Dr. David Frawley (Oct. 14, 2007)

 

"I recommend Dr. Frank Morales. He is a noteworthy academic scholar of Hinduism, a formal convert/practitione r as Acharya in Hindu temples, and a great public champion of Hinduism with courage to stick his neck out."

 

- Rajiv Malhotra (Infinity Foundation)

 

"You've done truly phenomenal work teaching the pure essence of Yoga."

 

- Dr. Deepak Chopra

 

"Few have the background and fewer still the courage to speak boldly

about Hinduism in modern times. Sri Dharma Pravartaka Acharya has both,

and wields them to trenchant purpose."

 

- Paramacharya Palaniswami ( Editor-in-Chief: Hinduism Today Magazine)

 

"Hindus need a person of your caliber to enlighten them. Hindu people,

at this juncture, are looking for someone to guide them and encourage

them to stand up for Dharma. You are the best suited person in America

to guide Hindus in the right direction. Best regards."

 

- Narain Kataria (President: Indian-American Intellectuals Forum)

 

"Dr. Morales comes across to me as a very sincere and honest

practitioner and teacher of Hindu Dharma. Dr. Morales is a very

devoted, practicing Hindu and at the same time, he is very well versed

in the academic jargon that is so necessary to communicate with his

peers in US Universities. He preaches a spiritually oriented,

non-sectarian brand of Hindu Dharma, bringing out the deepest truths of

our traditions in a very lucid language."

 

- Vishal Agarwal (Director: Voice of Dharma)

 

"Your ideas and actions have the potential to be revolutionary. " - Niraj Mohanka (New Dharma Foundation)

 

"Dr. Morales, I am astounded at your knowledge and realization of our

Dharma. That an American would grasp the Divine teachings as deeply as

you have is wondrous. You are truly a Maha Jagad Guru, the Great World

Teacher."

 

- Sri Swami Brahmananda Saraswati

 

"You are a pioneer in many ways and you have our congratulations and

support. If any of us can be of any assistance to you in your work,

please do not hesitate to ask."

 

- Dr. Jeffery Long (Professor of Religious Studies, Elizabethtown College)

 

"I feel that the addition of Shri Acharya ji to the Hindu community of

Omaha has been very valuable, especially for the children. He is a

wonderful teacher and spiritual leader. Acharyaji brings Hindu religion

to us, American born Indian kids, in a way that relates to us. Despite

my knowing our language and culture very well, I feel that "Pujas" and

ceremonies in a traditional way don't teach us the meaning of our

religion in the thoughtful manner that it ought to be understood.

Sometimes such deep and beautiful meanings have to be explained to

children so that we can grasp them and follow them. My father routinely

teaches us the meaning of Geeta verses and that helps us gain deeper

understanding of the philosophy behind the teachings. Similarly,

Acharyaji is able to bring the

Hindu religious teachings to the youth more clearly and understandably. "
