Kerala Hindus of New Jersey is a non-profit organization formed with an objective to unite all Kerala Hindus of New Jersey, to help build strong inter-community bonds, and to serve the society at large. We aim to sustain the rich traditional and cultural heritage we inherited and pass it on to the younger generations.
By promoting acceptance and partnering locally with various social activities, KHNJ will help build a more peaceful and vibrant society. We will also be instrumental in building a bridge between the philosophical and spiritual East and the technical and modern West, enabling a seamless integration of both the cultures.
Our Mission
“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” — the world is one big family and we are proud members of this family — is our operational philosophy.
