Dear Umesh,
I received your letter written to HAF on Oct 22.In this connection please note that a lot of effort is underway to reverse the problems with the school text books in the US that you describe.I am reproducing a letter that was sent yesterday which is self explanatory.You may also wish to write to the California School Board.There are other organizations working to address this problem besides Barsana Dham/Vedic Foundation.Some of these include ESHI (http://www.dharmaconference.org/ESHI.htm), Hindu Education Council which is operated by the HSS http://www.hssworld.org/homepage/html/ (Contact :Mr. Arun Kankani [EMAIL PROTECTED]). Besides there are individuals,like Mrs. Beth Kulkarni,from Houston ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), and Mr.Yashwant Belsare ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).There is currently movementto bring all these effort under one networking group ( the Hindu Collective Initiative of North America)so that the endeavor will be coordinated for better results.If you would like to render your services through it's Text-Book/Education Sub Committee please write to Dr Ved Chaudhry ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ,who is also a founding member of ESHI.I trust this information will be useful to you.With best regards,Sudhir PrabhuFriends,I am reproducing below message from Janeshwari Devi from Barsana Dham/ Vedic Foundation,Austin,Texas who attended and made presentation to the California School Curriculum Commissioners in Sacramento recently.It appears that this effort to correct denigration and mis-representation of the Hindu Faith in the school text-books is at a critical stage.Please consider taking time out from your busy schedule to respond to Janeshwari Devi's request (bolded for your convenience).I have also reproduced my earlier correspondence on this subject dated August 27th,and one page from the Vedic Foundation Website for your convenience,in case you need background information.Please forward this request to those you know who may be able to lend a support to this effort at this critical juncture.Thanks,Sudhir Prabhu----- Original Message -----
