About Us

MIT Hindu Student Council brings together all those who are inspired by the unbroken lineage of spiritual and philosophical thinkers, Rishis and Rishikas, who have sought answers for eternal truths. We are the followers of Sanatan Dharma, practitioners of 5000 years of unbroken principle that tells us that “ekam sat vipra bahudha vadanti: That which exists is One; the sages call it by various names. We are a community that fosters the Sanatan Hindu philosophy, culture and religion within the MIT and adjoining community. We celebrate Pujas and Festivals and seek to spread the joy of knowledge. We are here for each other, our goal is to help each of us discover the divine within and realize “thou art that” tat tvam asi. The mission of MIT HSC is to promote understanding of Hindu culture and heritage, foster awareness of issues affecting Hinduism, and provide service to the community. We do this by helping students experience Hinduism through celebrations of Hindu festivals, regular discussions, satsanga sessions, classes and symposia and guest lectures. We are open to people and ideas of all faiths and backgrounds. Whether you identify as a Hindu or are curious about the religion, we welcome you to join us!
