Hindu Society of Calgary

About Hindu Society of Calgary

Founded by dedicated Baby Boomer families primarily from India and supported by members from East Africa, Hindu Society of Calgary has grown into a thriving community organization with approximately 2,400 member families. The society's journey reflects a commitment to preserving Hindu religious and cultural values while building bridges within the diverse Calgary community. At its core, Hindu Society of Calgary is driven by a mission to foster spiritual dedication and devotion to Hindu values adapted for modern times, promoting understanding of Hinduism's ethical, spiritual, philosophical, and social foundations. The organization celebrates the richness of Hindu heritage through regular religious ceremonies, meditation, music, dance, and traditional rituals that connect members to their cultural roots. Beyond religious observance, the society actively supports its community through charitable initiatives, provides meeting spaces for cultural and educational activities, and creates opportunities for friendly social engagement across cultural lines. Hindu Society of Calgary demonstrates deep commitment to assisting families in distress and contributing to local and international humanitarian efforts. The organization looks toward the future with plans to establish a dedicated Cultural Centre in Calgary that will serve the religious, educational, cultural, and recreational needs of the Hindu community and broader society. By combining traditional Hindu practices with contemporary community values, Hindu Society of Calgary serves as a vital gathering place where families can strengthen their spiritual lives, celebrate their heritage, and contribute meaningfully to the multicultural fabric of Alberta.
