Guest guest Posted November 30, 2002 Report Share Posted November 30, 2002 14 foreigners embrace Hinduism Author: Our Special Correspondent Publication: The Hindu November 28, 2002 Fourteen foreign nations who are here to attend an international symposium on Vedic astrology have embraced Hinduism. The conversion ceremonies were performed at the office of the Arya Samajam here in the last two days. Two of them later got married according to Hindu religious rites at the Azhakodi Devi temple here. The Arya Samajam 'purohit' (priest), Indrajit Singh, who performed the rituals to initiate the foreigners into Hinduism, told THE HINDU, that he had received a few more similar requests. The foreign nationals having the US and British passports have assumed Hindu names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
