RICE HINDU STUDENTS COUNCIL
WHO WE ARE
We are a club that focuses on bringing Hindu culture and traditions to the Rice campus and on developing awareness of Hinduism. We are a chapter of the national organization (Hindu Students Council).
Our vision is to develop an “integrated personality” based upon the spiritual and cultural treasures of Hindu heritage. An integrated Hindu personality is the amalgamation of the highest Hindu values and the best western cultural values, and enables us to be spiritual, ethical, caring and socially adept citizens.
