INDICA is set to hold the felicitation ceremony for one of its 2025 Grateful2Gurus honorees, Ramesh Rao. The ceremony will be held, according to Avatans Kumar, the president and trustee of INDICA, on Sep.6 (4-6 pm) at the Chinmaya Abhyudaya Retreat Center in Willoobrook, Illinois, a southwest suburb of Chicago.

Pujya Swami Sharanananda Ji of Chinmaya Mission, Chicago, will deliver the keynote address, which will be followed by a talk on Indian Speech ethics by Prof. Rao.

INDICA had announced to honor two Indian American scholars, Arvind Sharma and Ramesh Rao, on Guru Purnima through its flagship program Grateful2Gurus. Grateful2Gurus, a program that represents the pinnacle of our annual initiatives, said Kumar, creating a sacred space for individuals and communities to honor the wisdom imparted by their Gurus, is a significant event in our calendar.

Arvind Sharma is currently the Birks Professor of Comparative Religion at McGill University. In 2025, he was awarded the Padma Shri by the Government of India for his contributions to religious scholarship and interfaith understanding.

Ramesh Rao has taught communication in the United States since 1987. His research and writing, which have focused on Indian society, politics, and ancient communication theories, have been a beacon of knowledge. Rao has authored several books and written more than a hundred op-eds published in India, the UK, and the US. He is also the editor of India Facts, a platform that promotes discussions around Hinduism and Indian culture.

Felicitations for Prof. Arvind Sharma will be held at a separate event.

INDICA, a not-for-profit institute, is dedicated to promoting Indian Knowledge Systems. Its unwavering dedication to this mission is evident in its efforts to celebrate and elevate the invaluable traditions that shape our culture.
