Diversity Project Program: Knowing Your Hindu Neighbor
The Medina Diversity Project, in partnership with the Medina County District Library, presents “Knowing Your Hindu Neighbor” on Wednesday, August 10th, 6:30-8:00 PM, at the Brunswick Library.
Dr. Kamala Adury shares the basic beliefs and practices of the Hindu people, common stereotypes and misconceptions, and what it’s like to be Hindu in America.
Dr. Adury, a Psychiatrist and Sleep Specialist who has lived in the Cleveland area for 18 years, is very passionate about her Hindu heritage. She is an active member of the Board of Trustees at the Hindu place of worship, the Sree Venkateswara Temple in Richfield. For many years, she has taught children in the religious classes called Prajna. More recently, she has led an initiative to create a new curriculum that would be more appealing to children of Indian origin. She also formed and runs the high school volunteer group at the temple, to help the youth of Indian origin stay connected to their roots. Dr. Adury has her own private practice in Medina called the Center for Behavioral Health and Sleep Disorders.
