Colorado Hindu community recognizes the chancellor鈥檚 work in the community
The Hindu community across the U.S. is celebrating today鈥檚 Universal Oneness Day. The event is part of the festival of Raksha Bandhan, which means 鈥渙bligation to protect.鈥
Centuries ago when India faced numerous invasions, sisters used to tie a thread on their brother鈥檚 wrist to remind him of his responsibility to protect his female siblings. Over the years, this celebration has evolved from recognizing 鈥渂rother-sister鈥 relationships to 鈥渋ndividual-societal鈥 relationships.
The Colorado chapter of Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) recognized 91桃色听听on Thursday for her work on campus and in the community. 鈥淲e are so happy to meet the chancellor and appreciate all her efforts to show the significance of the universal oneness day, so that it can propagate the message of peace in Denver,鈥 said Sridhar Talanki, president of Colorado鈥檚 HSS chapter. Talanki also serves as the information and technology ambassador for the Andhra Pradesh state government, a state on India鈥檚 southeastern coast.
