(CHAKRA) The objective of the Hindu Mandir Priest Conference (HMPC) is sustainability and the advancement of Sanatana Dharma by making the modes of worship meaningful and relevant for the younger generation of Hindus within the United States and Canada. The purohits (priests) play an essential role in the spiritual and cultural welfare of North American Hindu society. The conference will explore ways to make the priests’ roles more effective in meeting the ever changing needs of North American Hindus.
The 1st Hindu Mandir priests’ Conference 2012 (HMPC 2012) will be hosted on April 27-28, 2012 and held in Pittsburgh, USA.
Hindu Priests and religious committee members of temples and institutions are invited to offer their experience and wisdom in specific areas, for everyone else’s benefit.
Some of the detailed discussions will be around the following:
- Connecting with Children and Young Adults
- Personal Growth and Continuing Education
- Shared responsibilities
- Samskaras & Festivals
- Worship practices: Beyond rituals
- Internships, Sabbaticals, Exchange Programs
- Challenges of multiple languages, disparate customs
- Managing devotees demands
- Environmental Considerations
- Employment & Benefits
- Hindu Chaplaincy Program
It is the hope of the organizers that priests may take several new concepts from this conference and implement in advancing the growth of the respective temples. If you would like to contribute in any of the above roles please contact:
