Barack Obama reminds Hindus...

Beauty of Hinduism, has been and will ever be based on "freedom of choice to believe in" for it's followers. Has any other religion on this earth has ever dared to provide that freedom to it's followers?

When a foreigner can recognize the strength of hinduism why not we Indians?

PTI has reported the following:

The blessings of Lord Hanuman seem to be with Barack Obama as a temple consecrated to the Hindu deity is organising a prayer meeting on Sunday 22nd June 2008, to ensure his victory in the US Presidential election.

Priests of Sankat Mochan Dham Hanuman temple have organised a prayer for the success of the Democratic party's presidential nominee and will gift him a 15 kg gold-plated statute of Hanuman.

"We are praying for his success. Carolene Saurce, a representative of Democratic Party will attend the meeting on his (Obama's) behalf," Brij Mohan Dhama, a member of the temple told PTI.

He said his organisation was impressed with the ideology of the 46-year-old senator from Illinois. “He is a great believer in Lord Hanuman. His victory will benefit India,” he said.

Obama who defeated his rival Hillary Clinton in an epic 17-month long electoral battle for the Democratic party nomination, carries a "tiny monkey god" apparently representing 'Hanuman' with him for good luck.
