“Who are we? What we will be?”

Answers will be explored in 5^th All Brahmin Convention in Atlanta, GA.

For two days 4^th and 5^th July 2003, an audience of several Brahmins from all over the United States will be joined at Ramada Inn and Conference Center, Atlanta to attempt to answer the questions “Who are We? What does it mean to be Brahmin? What will be Brahmins of 21^st Century? What does it mean to say? “A practical, perfect, and integrated Brahmin?”

The 5^th all Brahmin convention will be hosted by Atlanta Brahmins. It is dedicated for renewal of Brahmin thoughts and understanding through feature keynote speakers, cultural programs, several entertainment events, and above all Brahmins of all walk of life, ages, from young to grown ups will have special interest involvement and active participation. It will be full of fun, food and festivities.

At the convention, we want to establish the basis of our religious understanding scientifically as well religiously appealing so that pride and prestige of its glory will sustain and will be kept alive for generations to come. We expect grand parents to shed and share their wisdom during this time.

At the convention, we will clarify our Vision, Mission and Values. We will stick together, and understand the meaning of our relations, rites, rituals and religion. We will not emphasize to be strict, hard, extreme conservative or rightist views but it will be a forum of understanding with mutual respect and love. If we achieve from this convention, three simple things, I believe our mission has reached.

(1) Everybody contributes, a little to a lot, your choice. (Knowledge, Strength, or Human resources).

(2) No put downs, we want to promote progress with real unity, mutual love, respect and understanding.

(3) Form a habit to keep agreement. (About your contribution.)

There will be many young people visiting the convention with a hope of direction and enthusiasm. Lots of sisters and brothers will be there to share their skills and experiences, if you want to try your natural leadership, come forward and contribute exactly that. We want to stay together and we want to progress hand in hand. Convention is nothing but a platform for bringing people together for now and may be forever.

Make a plan to attend, bring along grandparents and children. If we can help to support your cause, call us or speak to us. You are a member of our family either you join us or not.

With warm and respectful regards,
