Hindus in Ghana will join millions of other believers to participate in this year's World Hindu Congress to be hosted by the US in Chicago.
The two-day event expected to take place from the 7th to the 9th of September is the largest gathering of Hindus globally and serves as a time for deep reflection and exchange of ideas to offer concrete solutions to challenges of the time.
The delegation from the Hindu Monastery of Africa includes a former Communications Minister who served under the John Mahama administration, Victoria Hamah.
Victoria Hammah also happens to be the representative of the Women and Female Youth of the Monastery.
Other members of the delegation are Mr. Attoh - the President and Mr. Sarpong, youth leader of the Monastery.
The three leaders have been delegated by the Head of the Hindu Monastery in Africa to participate in the World Hindu Congress where he was scheduled to deliver a speech on the theme, "Reaching to Unreached" and to participate in a panel discussion on the same.
The former Minister, Victoria Lakshmi Hamah has been a member of the Hindu Monastery of Africa for over a decade.
The Hindu Monastery of Africa has been in existence since March 1975 after its first Hindu temple was established in Ghana and its first Black African Monk, His Holiness Swami Ghananand Saraswati was initiated into the divine order of Sanyasi.
The Hindu religion by 2016 had expanded and built five more branches in three regions of Ghana and one branch in Togo with its members encouraged to become vegetarians.
The World Hindu Congress is an event organised every four years where a variety of discussions are held on key issues including the economy, education, media, politics and leadership and contributions of Hindu community in these spheres.

@Kofigoo and MOMO, What makes you that your religion is the best ? The Hindus are committed , disciplined in their religion and that is why India and other Asian countries are fast developing . Every religion teaches you to work hard and emulate certain personalities who have lived an exemplary life . Let me ask , are you going by the doctrines and the good deeds of jesus as you were told every sunday ? Let me advise the ***barred word*** who go shouting and disturbing others in the name of worship and prayers that the key point of attraction is not the amount of noise you make , everything boils down to living an exemplary. That way someone will look at you and ask which religion does this man or woman belong to I would like to join due to his behavior. Make your religion attractive by your social conduct not religion by mouth . Most Ghanaians are christians by mouth and not in heart .
JESUS CHRIST IS THE SAVIOUR AND ANSWER TO HUMANKIND'S PROBLEM. ACCEPT HIM, AND TELL THEM.
What a wow, the Hindus has a problem.
