Ancient doctrine, and modern experience; tradition, and the break from tradition; practicality, and spirituality — Hinduism cannot be easily defined.

Here in America, we continue to meet the familiar questions for which tradition equips us. But to engage the new situations we encounter, it is we who must equip our tradition. That is the purpose of Swadharma. For we are the energetic youth, and it is our duty not to wear our faith as a nametag, but to venture into the new, armed with lush tradition and thirsty intellect, seeking answers for ourselves, for each other, and for future generations. Together, we will reconcile our Eastern philosophy with this Western world.

We are college students — why do we pour our spirit into Swadharma?

• because it is satisfying to finally talk about these things
• because we want to know the meaning of life. and death. and birth.
• because we want stability in this chaotic world
• because it is fun
• because it is the best way to really get to know you
• because we want to know what motivates you
• because we have tried, and it has helped
