AMS Hindu Yuva

UBC Hindu Yuva, where the latter ‘Yuva’ is a double entendre standing for “Youth” in the Indian native language, and “Youth for Unity, Virtue, and Action”(YUVA) in its comfortable acronym form, is what constitutes the core of this club. The mission of the Hindu YUVA as a club is to bring together both Hindu and non-Hindu students alike to raise awareness about Sanātana Dharma and to preserve our cultural and moral traditions. As one of the largest and oldest religions in the world, we believe it is necessary that there be an organization on campus to represent the interests of the Hindu community present here. UBC Hindu Yuva strives to bring Hindu traditions, cultural activities and more for the welfare of the people to UBC in a more appropriate and authentic manner. 

There are more than 80 chapters of Hindu YUVA all across North America. We represent the first chapter in Canada constituted in 2017 at the University of British Columbia. We hold immense pride in touching more than thousands of students each year uplifting them physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually through our events

We have organized a diverse array of events including Ganesh Chaturthi, Janamashtami, Raksha Bandhan, Diwali, Navratri, Yoga workshops, Mindfulness guest lecture, Games Night, Movie Night, Garba Workshops, Mehendi Night, Karaoke Night, Bhavagad Gita discourse and many more events you can imagine. We aim to build a community strongly upholding the values of Sanātan Dharma.

Our Essence

What Hinduism is not:

  • It is not a rite or ritual based on blind faith
  • It is neither intellectual nor philosophical entertainment
  • It is not an escape from the trials and tribulations of everyday life
  • It has nothing to do with any organized religion or sectarianism.

What Hinduism is:

  • It is a way of living that will eradicate suffering
  • A path of mental purification which allows one to face life's tensions and problems in a calm, balance way
  • It is an art of living that one can use to make positive contributions to society

The purpose of life is not just to be restlessly engaged in sensory pleasures, but understanding the science of mind and matter to realize the higher potential of a being. It is to establish connection with the pure self and understand that we are much more than this body and mind we utilize to function in this world. We never question the fundamental reality of anything we perceive, we only know how to attach labels to everything like this is a flower, a tree, and a human body. The biggest cause of this duality and suffering is our own thoughts that trap us into thinking I am this or that. Think about a time like something adventurous that involves a life and death situation like jumping from a cliff into the pool of water. In that moment, the mind is so present that there is no space for thought to sway you into wonderland of past and future. In that moment of thoughtlessness, you lost sense of time, space, and your own boundaries. So the core of our philosophy is being present in the now and seeing the reality without labelling, analyzing, discriminating, liking, disliking or anything.
