There was a need expressed by some members of the Brandeis community to know more about the Murthi Sthapana ceremony, and we wish to extend this into a deeper conversation about where to install the Hindu altar and the nature of designated faith space on this campus. To address this, we will have an information session on Thursday in Harlan Chapel at 6pm, the time originally designated for the ceremony. This will be a prime opportunity for the Brandeis community to share feedback, concerns and be a part of this conversation. People from all backgrounds are welcome and appreciated. http://www.thejustice.org/news/faith-dialogue-yields-progress-1.3139152#.Uvs-9zhWHrd
