World-Class Publishing§
Nestled within the monastery’s luxuriant greenery is another world, a high-tech media workshop where dedicated monks use state-of-the-art computerized publishing to craft our books, courses, videos, communications and websites. Each monk, in his hand-spun cotton robes, works at his late-model Macintosh with widescreen display—writing, editing, designing and directing by email a skilled international cadre of journalists, artists and photographers who help create our renowned quarterly magazine, HINDUISM TODAY. Publishing this journal is a joyful, inspired work—a labor of love distributed to 62 nations and treasured by 100,000 readers around the globe. Not merely a source of news, the magazine is a forum of spiritual sustenance and timeless wisdom, a lifeline of dharma, a family album proudly chronicling 21st-century expressions of the world’s oldest living faith, one billion strong and growing. Since 1979, HINDUISM TODAY has provided a candid inside view of the Hindu way of life, clearly articulating Hindu culture and philosophy in modern English. The magazine has been instrumental in dispelling myths and misinformation about Hinduism while strengthening the religion worldwide by providing news about all sects and lineages. ¶Known for its aesthetic, full-color graphics and you-won’t-find-this-anywhere-else features, HINDUISM TODAY is also available as a free mobile app and website, complete with video featuring Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami reading his Publisher’s Desk column. To supplement the in-depth magazine articles, the monks broadcast a daily news feed called Hindu Press International, summarizing a constant stream of short news stories about Hinduism from the world press. ¶Many orders of Hindu monks perform public service by running schools, hospitals or orphanages. Gurudeva ordained that the public-service focus of his Saiva Siddhanta Yoga Order would be to support and encourage all traditional Hindu lineages through HINDUISM TODAY—seldom telling our own story, but rather fostering Hindu solidarity by focusing on the people, events, philosophy, culture and traditions of the broader Hindu world.§
