Happy Holidays!
We had many occasions to have dialogues on the Symbol of the Swastika in 2021. All were online, and are available for the public to watch. We are planning to have more educational gatherings in 2022. In addition, a new documentary film called "Manji" will be launched in 2022.
Here I want to list the URLs for various dialogues that we have this year 2021. It is good time to review them if you are interested in joining and supporting various events, including Dharmic conference in spring and fall.
