Nithyananda Meditation Academy Hindu Heritage Month

As the Member of Parliament for Markham—Thornhill, I am happy to extend warm greetings to the Nithyananda Mediation Academy on the occasion of your Hindu Heritage Month celebrations.

While COVID-19 prevents us from gathering in person, I am thankful for organizations like the Nithyananda Mediation Academy that go above and beyond to connect the Hindu community virtually.

This month — and every month — marks a time to celebrate the great accomplishments of Hindu Canadians and the role they have played in Canada’s vibrant and inclusive identity. It is events like this that help preserve the Hindu culture and heritage and teach the next generation.

The Nithyananda Mediation Academy’s resilience, passion, and dedication illustrate that Canada’s strength is the diversity in our leadership, communities, and cultures. Let us continue to work together and build a Canada we are all proud to call home.

Thank you Nithyananda Meditation Academy and the organizing committee for your quick response to the realities of COVID-19 and finding new ways of bringing us together.

Sincerely,

Hon. Mary Ng, P.C., M.P. Markham-Thornhill

Hello Nithyananda Meditation Academy Toronto,

During this Hindu Heritage Month, we celebrate our Hindu religion as well as the teachings of the Bhagavaad Gita. We also remember and educate future generations about Hindu-Canadians and the role that they continue to play in communities across Canada.

Although our celebrations are taking on a different format due to COVID-19 pandemic, we must always ensure that light, good and knowledge triumph over darkness, evil, and ignorance.

Thank you so much for all you have done in keeping our community safe this year. All of my very best to you and your families.

Namaste,

Hello and Namaste,

As Canada's first Hindu Cabinet Minister, I would like to wish you all a very happy Hindu Heritage Month. Each November, we take the opportunity to recognize the outstanding contributions that Hindu Canadians have made and continue to make to our province and to our country.

Ontario is home to a vibrant Hindu population and Hindu Canadians from across the province have made contributions in a wide variety of fields. Throughout the pandemic, many Hindu Canadians were at the forefront of our fight against COVID-19. I would like to extend my sincerest thanks to those who have helped to keep our communities safe. Hindu Organizations like KAILASA Canada have stepped up to raise funds, donate meals for the most needy and support our seniors throughout the pandemic. This month, we remember, celebrate, and educate all Ontarians and Canadians about the important role that the Hindu community has played throughout our history.

It is my pleasure, as the Member of Parliament for Oakville, to extend my greetings to the Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Jagatguru Mahasannidhanam His Divine Holiness Bhagavan Nityananda Paramashivam and to KAILASA Canada for organizing this online event, bringing the Hindu Canadian community together to celebrate and educate future generations about the Hindu ecosystem and its contribution to Canadian society at large. My sincerest apologies that I am not able to join you today, and I hope to connect with you all again soon. Wishing you a very happy Hindu Heritage Month.

Thank you. Namaste.

Sincerely Yours,
