the daily hindu
 
 
 
Request for Assistance
 
I completed the Shri Vaibhava Lakshmi Vrata today.  Part of the last day of the fast ritual is to distribute copies of the Vrata Katha book.  Please download and read it at your convenience.  Thanks!
 
My name is Swati S. Desai, and I am a Hindu living in Chicago, Illinois.
 
I had a website on Geocities that a lot of people found helpful, and so after Geocities decided to shut down, I decided to move it here.
 
I hope that this website is helpful to you, and gives you the knowledge and confidence to practice Hinduism better.
 
If you have any suggestions for improvements that I could make to this website, please contact me at swdesai21 (at) yahoo.com.
 
Thank you for visiting!
 
 
My old website was located at: http://www.geocities.com/swdesai21.
Sadly, Geocities shut down in October 2009.
Therefore I moved my website here.  I hope you find the new format helpful.  
 
Comments, concerns, suggestions?  Email me.
 
NOTE: To everyone who has emailed me suggestions and improvements and is still waiting for my response: Sorry!!!  I am working on the backlog of emails and have read your emails and am working on a response.  I am NOT ignoring you, so please don’t feel bad!

This website is geared toward Hindus living outside of India.
 
I will include on this website English transliterations of Sanskrit shlokas, with particular emphasis on daily prayers.
 
As I have more time to focus on this website, I will augment it with audio and perhaps a calendar.
