Harvard Hindu Fellowship (HHF) is a campus group sponsored by the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society.
HHF fosters a spiritual community guided by universal and eternal values derived from the ancient Hindu tradition. HHF also seeks to a find common thread of harmony and understanding that links the different wisdom traditions of the world. HHF is a support group geared to make life on campus more meaningful, fulfilling and successful. HHF programs are open to all members of the Harvard community. Through these programs we try to apply ethical values and spiritual insights to the needs and challenges of daily life. The goal is to live a life of peace and harmony with oneself and with those around us.
The programs offered by HHF include classes on the various aspects of the Hindu tradition and meditation practice, celebration of Hindu festivals, and programs that promote and encourage interfaith dialogue. These programs are held on the campus on Mondays and at the Ramakrishna Vedanta Society in Boston on other days of the week.
HHF members meet every Monday from 7:00 to 8:00 PM in the Tranquility Room (Rm #27) at Mather House. Please enter through the gate on Cowperthwaite Street. The program consists of a short reflection offered by a member followed by prayer and guided meditation. Newsletters giving information about the upcoming programs are emailed every week.
