Om Shah

Namaste everyone! 

My name is Om, and I would love to put myself forward to be your next Sanskaar Officer. The Hindu Society has been my "home away from home" this year, and, having attended almost every Sanskaar session, I’ve firsthand experienced how these evenings provide great insight into dealing with the stress of uni life through our Hindu philosophy. I want to ensure every member feels that same sense of belonging and pride in our Hindu identity, creating a space where we don’t just get to know about our heritage, but truly live it.

Currently serving as the FYR for Jain Society, I have worked closely with the core committee, which has given me insight into the behind-the-scenes work for running society events.  This experience will support me in helping the Hindu society in organising large-scale, successful events such as Rangeela, which I enjoyed participating in. My sincere nature will aid me in planning sessions that are both thought-provoking and interactive—bridging the gap between our ancient roots and our modern lives. I want to make the Sanskaar sessions an inspiring part of your week. For example, I would like to have our sessions on the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and how we can use them to tackle problems that we face in our day-to-day life. 

I am very excited and dedicated to contributing to Hindu society and helping educate more people about our faith and heritage, and would love to have your support.
