HAVYAKA ASSOCIATION OF AMERICAS (HAA)

Havyakas represent a sub sect of Hindu Brahmins from south India, practicing Sanatana Dharma, Satvika life-style and followers of Adi-Shankaracharya. Over the past 30 years the number of Havyakas in America has been growing. There is growing interest in maintaining, sharing and enriching the Havyaka beliefs and cultural traditions in Americas. Accordingly, Havyaka Association of the Americas (HAA) was formed during 1982 with the aim of providing a common forum towards achieving these goals to the present and future generations.
