History of HSS Nederland

Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh Nederland (HSS NL) is part of the global HSS movement, which began in the 1940s outside Bharat (India) to serve the Hindu diaspora. HSS was founded to preserve and promote Hindu culture, values, and community service across the world.

In the Netherlands, HSS started with small local gatherings (Shakhas) and gradually expanded to cities such as Amsterdam, Amstelveen, Utrecht, Den Haag, Eindhoven, Arnhem, and Rotterdam. These weekly Shakhas became centres for yoga, cultural education, games (Khel), physical activities (Yoga, Surya Namaskar, Asanas), and character development.

HSS Nederland continues to grow and organizes events, youth programs (such as Balgokulam), and community service initiatives. All activities are rooted in the ideals of Sangathan (Unity), Sanskar (Character), and Sewa (Service).

Grounded in these principles, HSS Nederland continues its mission to build strong individuals, strong families, and a strong community.

“Peace and love are possible only between equals. The real enemies of peace are those weak people, who, because of their weakness, incite the strong. If we are weak, we commit the sin of disturbing world peace.”
