What makes us especially proud is seeing young students now familiar with Sanskrit, one of the world’s most ancient languages and an invaluable part of our Hindu civilizational heritage.

A heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful students and parents who committed their summer to learning and preserving this beautiful language.

In recent weeks, several anti‑Hindu and anti‑India voices have become more active. Their factually incorrect claims and rhetoric, however, have not gained traction. Hindus around the world continue to draw strength and inspiration from their civilizational homeland, India (Bharat).

As Mr. visits Canada, fully complying with all Canadian laws, billions of Hindus worldwide see his leadership as a symbol of cultural continuity and resilience. Hindu communities have historically faced persecution from various forces, and even today encounter threats from extremist elements, including ‑aligned groups. Some organizations attempt to provide cover for anti‑Hindu narratives, but their efforts do not diminish Hindu unity.

With Mr. Bhagwat’s visit, we urge all attendees and community members to remain cautious. We anticipate that ‑aligned individuals may appear at public locations, shouting extremist slogans, using violent imagery, or disrespecting sacred symbols. Please stay calm, vigilant, and composed during such moments.

Safety Guidance-

• Exercise caution at today’s events and gatherings.
• Report hate‑motivated incidents to the HCF Hate Tool - hinducanadian.org/antihinduhatet…
• If you feel threatened, unsafe, or attacked, immediately call 911.

HCF remains committed to safeguarding Hindu voices, promoting truth and dialogue , and standing firmly against misinformation and hate.

We appreciate your clarity in calling out terrorism and naming extremist violence for what it is. That honesty is essential if we want to confront radicalization and hold terrorists ideologies accountable.

But it’s genuinely troubling that you have not shown the same clarity regarding the deadliest terrorist attack in Canadian history: Air India Flight 182, carried out by Canada‑based Khalistani extremists ( ).

Why this silence? Why this double standard? It raises serious questions about whether certain influences around you are sympathetic to these extremist elements, preventing a broader and consistent stance against terrorism in all its forms. Canadians deserve answers.

Selective outrage weakens the fight against extremism. As the Honourable Leader of the Opposition, , your voice matters and Canadians deserve clarity.

Celebrating 6 Years of HCF “Because You Made It Possible”

Six years of Seva. Six years of community. Six years of standing together.

As the Hindu Canadian Foundation (HCF) celebrates six years of its journey, we want to recognize the people who have made every milestone possible, our community, supporters, volunteers, partners, temples, organizations and well-wishers.

What started with a purpose has grown into a community-driven movement built around three core pillars:

SOCIAL - Bringing Hindu Canadians together, supporting our community, creating connections and standing beside one another when it matters.

CULTURAL - Celebrating our festivals, traditions and heritage while creating opportunities for the next generation to understand, experience and proudly carry forward their “HINDU IDENTITY”.

CIVIC ADVOCACY - Building a stronger Hindu Canadian voice, engaging with institutions and elected representatives, raising issues that matter to our community and encouraging greater civic participation.

Over these six years, HCF has grown, learned and evolved but one thing has remained constant: our commitment to Hindu Canadians and to the country we proudly call home, Canada.

Every event attended, every initiative supported, every volunteer hour contributed, every message shared and every word of encouragement has helped shape HCF.

You are the real foundation of this journey. ♥️

Thank you for believing in HCF and walking this journey with us. Happy 6th Anniversary, HCF Family!

United by Heritage. Rooted in Canada.
Proudly Hindu. Proudly Canadian.
