Indian American businessman Ramesh Bhutada donates USD 1 million to HUA

According to the media reports, this is the highest donation received by the Hindu University of America (HUA) which was established in 1989 and authorized by the Florida State Government in 1993.

The CEO of Houston-based Star Pipe Products, Bhutada said that he made the donation so that the youth can gain the knowledge and understanding of Hinduism much earlier in life, enabling them to live a happy and productive life.

He was also felicitated by HUA at an event in Houston.

Despite being born and raised in a traditional Hindu family and being a member of several prominent Hindu organizations and traditions, the CEO of Star Pipe Products claimed that he “did not really understand the essence of Hinduism.”

As per the official release issued by the University, it took him 60 years to understand the true essence of Hinduism “which teaches us how to live in harmony within ourselves, with our family, friends, colleagues, and with the entire world.”

“Other universities may impart knowledge for students to earn a livelihood. Only an institution like HUA can impart Hindu knowledge that teaches a student how to live their life,” it added.
