Fremont: Hinduism is not just a religion, it’s a way of life, a prominent Indian-American physician, who has committed USD 4 million to advocate Hindu advocacy and awareness causes in the United States, has said.

Emergency care physician Mihir Meghani, who founded the Hindu America Foundation along with his friends two decades ago, at the annual Silicon Valley gala early this month of the organisation pledged to donate USD1.5 million more to the Hindu cause over the next eight years.

This contribution will raise his total donations for the cause to USD 4 million in two decades.

The announcement by Dr Meghani possibly gives him the distinction of being the biggest Indian American donor for the Hindu cause in the United States.
