INDIA HERITAGE RESEARCH<br />
FOUNDATION (IHRF)<br />
Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji is the founder<br />
and chairman of India Heritage Research Foundation,<br />
a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to<br />
humanitarian and cultural projects. Founded in 1987,<br />
IHRF is committed to preserving the timeless wisdom<br />
and ageless grandeur of Indian culture. By weaving<br />
together ancient tradition, cultural history, a wide<br />
range of non-discriminatory charitable services, and<br />
inspiring youth programs, IHRF has created a<br />
tapestry of true, universal beauty.<br />
The Encyclopedia of Hinduism<br />
IHRF is currently completing the revolutionary project<br />
of compiling the first Encyclopedia of Hinduism in<br />
history. The Encyclopedia will mark the first time that<br />
the urgent need is met for an authentic, objective and<br />
insightful well of information, capturing both the<br />
staples and the spices of Indian tradition and culture.<br />
This 18 volume work is currently in the final stages of<br />
research and compilation by over 1250<br />
internationally renowned scholars. We expect to have<br />
the manuscript completed by 2005.<br />
The Encyclopedia of Hinduism will be a significant<br />
landmark, encompassing the entire spectrum of<br />
called Bharat.<br />

While its current focus is on the momentous<br />
Encyclopedia Project, the picture of IHRF is<br />
significantly vaster.<br />
The foundation is dedicated to youth, education, spirituality,<br />
culture, inter-faith harmony, health care and<br />
ecology. To this end, it sponsors medical care<br />
programs, schools,gurukuls/orphanages, training<br />
centers, large-scale spiritual and cultural events, treeplantation<br />
and clean-up programs, conferences<br />
geared toward inter-faith harmony, summer camps,<br />
and international youth awareness programs. Additionally,<br />
it sponsors (both financially and otherwise)<br />
educational institutions that are already established<br />
but suffering from lack of resources.<br />
Following are examples of only a few of the numerous<br />
ways that IHRF’s arms embrace humanity:<br />
Y.E.S. — Youth Education Services<br />
Many villages throughout<br />
India are oceans of poverty<br />
and illiteracy. The<br />
influx of technology, commerce,<br />
education and<br />
metropolitanism that has<br />
flooded most of India’s cities since Independence,<br />
seems to have not even touched these villages. They<br />
exist as they did centuries ago. However, one crucial<br />
change has occurred. Now, basic education and<br />
marketable skills are absolute necessities in order to<br />
subsist in even the smallest communities. Hence,<br />
those who lack this education and training, go to sleep<br />
hungry each night.<br />
