HINDU INSTITUTE OF LEARNING
OUR WELLWISHERS
Devendra Mishra, Ph.D. :
He is Formerly Professor of History, American University, Nairobi, Kenya. He says :
As an academician nothing gives me greater pleasure than to see the emergence and development of an educational institution devoted to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of a nation. My heartiest congratulaions to Pujya Shri Jagdish Chandra Sharda Shastriji, the Founder, Dear Dr. Ratnakar Narale, the principal, and to the entire Managing Committee for flying the flag of HIL higher and higher. Kindly accept the following couplet as my tribute to the staff of the Hindu Instutute of Learning.
Nij Sanskriti ke Rajdoot Tum Dharma Dhwaja Phaharao, Bhasha, Dharmashastra, Darshan ki Gyan Sudha Barsao.
Atmadeep Jagrit Karo , Paaoge Nirvan, Dukhion Ki Seva Karo Mil Jaeynge Bhagwan,
(Illuminate your Self to get salvation. Help the poor and you will see God). Literally Deepavali means a row of lighted lamps. Spiritually, the lighted lamp symbolizes knowledge that drives the darkness of ignorance away. On the sacred day of Deepavali we should illuminate our inner self to remove the darkness of hatred, selfishness,lust, greed, violence etc.
"TAMASO MA JYOTIRGAMAYA" ( O' Lord ! Lead me from darkness to light) should be the main focus of this festival. In certain area of Rajasthan in India,
on this day the women folk exchange lighted lamps with each other and distribute the same to those who have none. This conveys the message that the well to do members should share their good fortune with less fortunate
>members of the society. By doing so we fulfil the prayer " SARVE BHAVANTU SUKHINA" ( let everyone be happy).

The Hindu Institute of Learning is not only preserving the cultural heritage of Indians, but its staff is a valuable source of knowledge for people of other cultures. Using the ancient language of the Vedas as a reference,
people of other cultures in Europe are able to get better insights into their prehistorical past. My latest paper, was facilitated by the Hindu Institute of Learning, which may be of interest to you as a historian. (You may see it under Institute Staff Pblications on the main menu)

Prof. John McLeod, Unicersity of Louisville, Kentucky, USA. :
Next year will mark the fifteenth anniversary of my first involvement with the Hindu Institute of Learning. Since then, HIL has grown phenomenally, thanks to the ceaseless efforts of the President Shastriji J.C. Sharda, and the Principal Acharya Dr Ratnakar Narale. As always, a full range of classes are offered in the fields of languages, arts, and cultures. Educational endeavors will receive a great boost with the construction of the HIL’s Montessori Academy. And we must not forget the impressive new HIL website.
I have lived in the United States since 1995. This has prevented me from being active in HIL activities. Nevertheless, my wife Mary and I count many friends among the members and supporters of the Institute. To all of you, I send my best wishes.
John.

Dear Shri Ratnakar ji,
"I thoroughly enjoyed your website looking through it. When will the Gita book be available?
Please advise as I would like a copy."
Dr. Sitansu Chakravarti, Prof. of History, University of Toronto :
Namaste Ratnakarji and all,
My sincere greetings to you and all. May your work in Sanskrit and Sanskriti be ever on, on an increasing scale, throughout the year, and years to come. Bharat is going through trying times ...To my mind, Ratnakarji is a unique exception in the area. His IT experience has not divorced him from the root of our sanskriti, which is Sanskrita, where he stands brave and high. Personally, I have a lot to learn from him and be inspired by the example he holds, I believe, for all of us.

Ratnakar ji, when I look at the sections on 'Brain Surgery of Hindi Grammar' and 'the X-Ray Vision' in your book "Learn Hindi through English Medium," I think it is truly a work of genious.
Sherriff Charles, Toronto :
I was most pleased with the Hindi classes and learned far more than I had expected. At the start of the classes I knew about five to six words in Hindi, words like dal, bhart, bhagee, ghos and who could forget aloo. Everything else was new to me. Here's wishing you the best of the season and a healthy and prosperous new year.
Sincerely,
Sherriff Charles.
