Sunita goes to SPACE with Bhagavad Gita and Lord Ganesh!

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

 

I was really thrilled to learn that astronaut Sunita Williams is

carrying a copy of 'Bhagavad Gita' and an idol of Lord Ganesha to

space with her.

 

Sunita reached space station on Sunday night along with six other

members of the NASA team in the space shuttle Discovery.

She is carrying a letter in Hindi from her father, a copy of Gita, an

idol of Ganesha and a packet of samosas among other things. She will

be living in space station for the next six months.

 

Considering the small baggage allowed for space travel, it is great to

know that she is making all of us happy by carrying a Ganesha idol and

Gita. [i also likes to point out the religious freedom we have in

United States (and Canada) that many are not aware.]

 

Let us all pray for Sunita and other crew members to have a great stay

and a safe journey back home to mother earth.

 

Om Namo Narayanaya:

 

Sunil.
