A Weekend Hindu
What does it mean to be Hindu in a world far from home? A Weekend Hindu explores this question through stories and reflections from the Indian diaspora.
From childhood prayers to Diwali lights on suburban balconies, from temple visits alongside board meetings—this book captures the quiet struggles and surprising joys of holding ancient roots in modern soil.
With warmth and honesty, Varun P Kulkarni invites readers into moments both deeply personal and universally familiar. The book doesn't preach—it observes, questions, and remembers.
At its heart, this is about continuity—how Sanatana Dharma survives across borders and generations. A mirror for those who wonder if they're "Hindu enough," and a reminder that identity isn't measured by perfect rituals, but by sincerity and the choices we make about what to carry forward.
