History from about 2300 years ago records how Indian ships carried Sanskrit and Hindu influence to the east. Today the University at Lismore in east Australia has a college for Aboriginal students, the Indigenous People. The ideals of the college are "ganna. punyu" with the same meanings as Skt. gana punya. The words are from Bundjalung language with many similarities to Skt. vocabulary. The reason may be in a major historical tradition about 3 men who arrived by "canoe", named Ya Birrein, Birrung and Mamoon. The woman with them was Gaminyah, and they came from Ngareenbeil. In Old Balinese language, "negarin beli" means "your beloved countrymen", as in Persian "negarin".
Maybe the college has some aspects which make it a Hindu college.
