Run workshops, seminars and ‘open days’ to promote the holistic oneness of Hinduism - a ‘way of life’ that is open to all - all faiths, atheists and theists alike.
Develop the practical aspects of the Hindu way of life by demonstration: drama, debates, and road shows: The ‘Living Geeta’ - a life of ‘ideals’ and not ‘idols’.

One can be a negotiator in the world of war, and still live the Hindu way of life - ‘ahimsa in action’, teaching spirituality and balancing apparently conflicting goals. This is karma yoga - this is Hinduism.
