Guest guest Posted August 2, 2003 Report Share Posted August 2, 2003 Vanakam Sakta Muslim appointed as Hindu temple's priest A Muslim has been anointed as a priest at an Indian Hindu temple. Mohammed Alamgir attends prayers at mosques in Patna and has never failed to turn up for Hindu prayers in 12 years. Mahant Prakash Nath, chief priest of the Kali temple, is so impressed with the 30-year-old's devotion to the goddess Kali that he has appointed him a priest. Some worshippers at the temple voiced protests at the choice of a Muslim as a temple priest but others have become Alamgir's admirers, reports newspaper Aaj Kal. Alamgir says he discovered the Kali temple at a time when he was unemployed and an aimless wanderer and that visits to the temple give him "a spiritual high". http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_371742.html?menu= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
