Benaras (now known as Varanasi) is a Hindu holy city on the banks of the river Ganga or Ganges in the modern north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
Benaras is the site of the holy shrine of Lord Kasi Viswanatha (a form of Lord Shiva); this, along with its positional advantage of being on the banks of the Ganga, has given it a place at the forefront of the Hindu religion.
Benaras is also the home of the Benaras Hindu University[?], one of the most prestigious in the country.

Those extremes avoided, the new Hindu University of America (HUA) will nevertheless be downright Hindu in spirit, unapologetically American in social setting, cosmopolitan Indian in character and unequivocably Ivy League in scholastic standard.
But HUA is determined to take its name seriously unlike Benaras Hindu University which, although founded to nurture the Hindu ethos, has since become so exclusively academic, almost nothing remains in curriculum and religious tone to justify the Hindu name.
Though for decades excited talk about starting a Hindu university bandied about the globe from coffee shops in Nepal to living rooms in Georgia, it finally took a serious tack around 1984 when Swami Tilak announced that the Hindu University concept was overdue.
