Namaste, and welcome to our various websites and mobile apps, through which we seek to provide accurate, useful and contemporary information on Hinduism and Hindus around the world.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the year 2020 has been a time when all family members were required to stay at home for extended periods. Our publication team of monks decided to provide Hindu materials that families staying at home could use together to have fun and learn about Hinduism. This manifested as an online course entitled “Lessons for Sequestered Families” to which over five hundred families have enrolled to date. Our project Saivite Scriptures, a Sacred Anthology of Saiva Siddhanta Hinduism, has moved forward to the point of being available online in its initial, yet to be fine-tuned presentation. Our mobile apps continue to be upgraded with improved interfaces and expanded resources, and their usage continues to steadily expand.

As you know, in keeping with the vision of our Gurudeva, Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, all the material on our websites, and now our new mobile apps, are available for free online. However, to cover the professional fees needed to continue to upgrade and expand, we do follow the model of Wikipedia and ask for donations the last two months of the year. For ten years running, you have responded generously, and after another year of working to improve these portals and provide new resources, we are back again with our annual appeal.

In our “How the Funds Are Used” page, we detail what we did with your past generosity, and what we hope to accomplish in the coming year. Your contribution this year will go to a short but strategic list of projects, including children’s learning tools, the enhancement of our websites and their content and the development of the ever-popular mobile apps. Digital Dharma Drive funds do not pay staff salaries or administrative overhead, since these sites are created and maintained by selfless monks who work for free and live simply in our remote monastery on the island of Kauai.

Ten percent of your tax-deductible contribution goes into the permanent Digital Dharma Drive Endowment, which now stands at $148,813 after ten years of fundraising. This follows Gurudeva’s vision for the future that all major aspects of our work will ultimately be supported by endowments. As the endowment accumulates, it will provide an ever-increasing income for decades to come, protecting the digital future of Hinduism, your religious heritage.

Donate today, and improve Hinduism’s global English-language resources—for the benefit of this and future generations.
