Guest guest Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 The program below aired on ABC's Radio National. That's the Australian Broadcasting Corp., not the U.S. network. "The Spirit of Things" with Rachael Kohn on Sunday 16/2/2003 Ring of Fire Summary: To Hindus attending the Sri Venkateswara Temple in Helensburgh, New South Wales, fire is a familiar symbol. Scholar and teacher, Michael Comans, takes us on a tour of the many shrines in the Temple, and we speak with worshippers, the architect, and one of the Brahmin priests. Details or Transcript: The Lord Siva dances in a ring of fire, and fire rituals are performed during the construction of this temple which is aiming to be the largest in Australia. At the centre of this huge complex is a shrine lit by flames flickering in oil lamps.
