RECOGNIZING OCTOBER AS HINDU HERITAGE MONTH

______

HON. DARIN LaHOOD

of illinois

in the house of representatives

Tuesday, October 12, 2021

Mr. LaHOOD. Madam Speaker, today, I would like to observe the month of October as Hindu Heritage Month. The month of October serves as a time for Hindu communities across the country to join together and celebrate their culture and its diverse spiritual traditions. Hindu Heritage Month is a celebration of the Hindu faithful that hold services in 32 states across 91 congressional districts, including the devoted and faithful Hindu community of the 18th Congressional District of Illinois.

Communities of faith have long served as beacons of hope, sharing their beliefs, and supporting their communities through service. The vibrant Hindu-American community is no different and I am proud to support the examples of service in the 18th Congressional District by my constituents.

The United States is a deeply faithful Nation, and I am proud to support the celebration of October as Hindu Heritage Month. May this month bring awareness in recognizing and acknowledging the contributions made by Hindu-Americans and increase awareness and understanding of the Hindu-American community.
