In the United States, close to 95% of literature on Hinduism is written by non-Hindus, and almost all educators and instructors in schools and colleges teaching Hinduism are non-practicing Hindus. Unfortunately, that has led to misconceptions about Hinduism and often has created a negative stereotyping of Hindus and Hinduism. 

Many Hindus lack the skill to articulate their views on Hinduism concisely. HSB is a platform that brings together those Hindus who want to be public speakers. It also provides opportunities to followers of Abrahamic faiths to learn about Hinduism from practicing Hindus. 

Mission Statement: Engage Hindus to academic and religious institutes around the world to promote pluralism and to increase understandings between different faiths.

HSB is a non-profit organization based in the San Francisco Bay Area but has about 130+ speakers around the world
