The uniqueness of Hindu Dharma and the culture as practiced by the Hindu community has a significant contribution to make for the benefit of humanity. It is therefore essential for Hindus living in Canada to develop unity and harmony in their community to effectively promote these salient features. There are around one million Hindus in Canada. Their contributions to the economic, social and cultural life is widely acclaimed.

Who we are

Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) is a voluntary, non-profit, social and cultural organization. Sangh, as the organization is popularly known, aims to organize the Hindu community in order to preserve, practice, and promote Hindu ideals and values.

HSS conducts structured programs of regular athletic and academic activities to develop strong character and leadership skills in its members (known as swayamsevaks for men and sevikas for women), emphasizing values such as self-discipline, self-confidence and a spirit of selfless service (seva) for humanity. We encourage maintaining Hindu cultural identity in harmony with the larger community.

Sangh is inspired by the idea that the whole world is one family and conducts activities across the Canada in order to spread this message widely. Sangh has over 25 weekly meeting centers (shakha) spread over Ontario, Quebec, Greater Vancouver Area (GVA), Alberta, and Saskatchewan.

Sangh principles are aligned with the values which we express as Canadians. We positively promote politeness to be welcoming and helping, punctuality to maintain a sense of respect for time, inclusiveness of all cultures and communities and importantly building strong communities through impeccable character, selfless service and incessant volunteering.
