Video of Historic American Hindu Welcoming Ceremony

with Dr. Frank Morales

 

 

In a historic religious event that occurred on Saturday, May 31, 2008,

eight Americans were formally welcomed into the ancient tradition of

Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism) in a sacred initiation (diksha) ceremony at

the Hindu Temple of Nebraska.

 

In a related historical development, Ms. Heather " Tulasi " Mortensen

was awarded brahmana initiation during the same ceremony, and invested

with a sacred thread. This thread-giving ceremony (known as

upavita-samskara in Sanskrit) represents the very first time in world

history that a non-Indian woman has been awarded such a sacred thread.

 

Now you can now see the video of this event on Youtube:

 

 

The 35 minute edited video of the two hour ceremony is in four parts.
