"The motivational speaker, who left his corporate job ten years ago to foster the spread of Hindu and Vedic culture in the West, looks like a typical American till he opens his mouth." India Times
Around the world there are three rapidly evolving groups of followers of the Hindu Dharma. In India, there are 750 million Hindus struggling with the residual effects of colonization and a national and political crisis of identity. Another 30 million Hindus live as immigrants to other countries outside of India. They are trying to reunite on important issues that concern all Hindus, like education of the next generation and maintaining Hindu cultural values in often unfavorable environments. The third Hindu group consists of approximately 100 million Nava or new Hindus who are practicing some form of yoga and looking to India and Hindu/Vedic knowledge for guidance.
Jeffrey Armstrong (Kavindra Rishi) is working with all three of these groups. He travels to India on a regular basis to inspire and speak before civic groups, temples, ashrams, colleges and universities on overcoming the current challenges to Hindu identity in India. This includes: correct portrayal of Hindu identity in schools and texts, issues of health and preventive medicine, countering the dangerous effects of forcible conversions by Christians and Muslims, development of appropriate technology and many more important Hindu issues.
As the Media and Communications Director for both the Vedic Friends Association (VFA) and the Hindu Collective Initiative for North America (HCI-NA), and as an adjunct professor for Hindu University, he travels the world speaking to Hindu youth groups, academic conferences, temples and Hindu community groups to help restore the voice of Hindu Dharma throughout the world and to inspire the next generation of Hindu youth to be proud of their great Vedic/Sanatana Dharma heritage.
As a Nava-Hindu himself, Kavindra has been teaching the Vedic knowledge full-time for the last ten years and is the founder and director of the Vedic Academy of Sciences & Arts (VASA) which is dedicated to bringing the Hindu/Vedic Sanatana Dharma culture and knowledge to the entire world. In this role he speaks at corporations, yoga ashrams, yoga retreats, Ayurvedic medical and astrological conferences, Ayurvedic astrology conferences and teaches a variety of seminars based on the Vedic knowledge.

COMMENTS ABOUT THE SEMINAR
"It was a breath of fresh air to hear positive things about Hinduism from a Western intellectual - a rare phenomenon, indeed! Kavindra's in-depth knowledge of the Hindu scriptures is astounding. But his art of conveying the messages therein is even more striking. A rare combination of ancient Vedic knowledge and the modern art of communicating! Members of the audience were left dumb-founded!!"Dr. Kamal N. Rauniar, England
Jeffrey Armstrong provides the language skills that are needed to present the Hindu Dharma to the western world. Bloomington Illinois loved his fascinating presentation which was filled with facts and fun! I highly recommend this seminar to the entire Hindu community - we will definitely benefit from Jeffrey's knowledge and extraordinary interpersonal and communication skills. Shrinarayan Chandak, Bloomington, IL
"A fascinating seminar for understanding oneself and one's Vedic roots, building self- confidence and assertiveness and learning techniques of effectively communicating the universal principles of the Sanatan Hindu Dharma." Abhijit Prabhakar Phadnis, Mumbai, India
