About this organization
Mission
The goal was to unite the entire Hindu population of Greater Houston at one place to develop a strong unity and brotherhood among the Hindu community. The idea was discussed with a number of active Hindu individuals and associations and thus evolved the Janmashtami Festival.
About
The signature event presented was Janmashtami Festival. This was the 29th annual festival celebrated in Greater Houston. The event was held at the George Brown Convention Center. The turnout was over 7000 people. Anupam Kher actor from Bollywood was the keynote speaker & chief guest. At this event Akhil Chopra Award for dedicated service was also organized which is a community service award for an individual who extended selfless services to the community. The celebration is to showcase the core tenets of the Hindu faith that reinforce love towards all living beings, reverence towards Planet Earth and a peaceful coexistence to make this world a better place for all. As the community expanded with many temples and organizations established in the Greater Houston area, the turnout at this event has exponentially increased.
