Lord [Ganesh] is worshipped as one who brings happiness and who removes your sorrows," said Sangita Tipnis of Fort Richmond, who participated in the celebration. "He is worshipped for knowledge and for removing obstacles from your life. "Hinduism gives you enormous freedom, because the idea is not whether you acknowledge God or not," [Rangachari Venkataraman] said. "The idea is how you relate yourself to God. How do you feel your connection to God?" The Indian worship of god in different forms came about because the regions were like separate nations in ancient times, with their own language, literature, culture and spiritual insights. "Each region had its own way of relating to God," Venkataraman said. "There was not much communication between them in the olden days, so it was like a...

When I say those prayers now, I actually know what it means," the teen said. "It's not just a mundane ritual routine that I'm doing. In America, Hindus "are increasingly being challenged to articulate the Hindu tradition in a manner that places more emphasis on doctrine," [Rambachan] said. "People will ask, 'What do you believe?"' "If we don't know where we come from and where we are," said Dr. Padmanabh Kamath, president of the camp, "we are lost."

Flash forward to today's Bali: Many of those crew members would likely flee in horror from the tourist beach resort of Kuta, chased by a persistent army of hustlers offering to trim their nose and ear hairs, to give them massages ("cheap, very cheap") or to sell them blowguns ("to shoot cats"). The events served to deepen ethnic tensions on Bali, a mainly Hindu island in a sea of Islam (once Buddhist, Indonesia is now the world's most populous Muslim country). "It's the Muslims of (nearby) Java (who are responsible)," a Hindu taxi driver tells me bitterly. "They are jealous of us, see a lot of money here and want it. Business has been bad since the bombings. Life is hard, not like before. Our government keeps warning whoever is in Bali to come home and anyone who's thinking of coming ...

This sacred flame isn't God," [Robert Winston] intones, "but in its purity, in its lack of substance and in the comfort it gives, it's one of the ways that people have tried to imagine the unimaginable and describe the indescribable -- the very nature of God. The series' first episode, subtitled Life, the Universe and Everything..., seeks to identify the earliest roots of religion. Winston's search takes him underground, to the caves in Gargas, France, in which some of the world's earliest "religious" symbols are painted on the walls. Academic Elizabeth Lev contributes this bit of insight: "One of the most dangerous teachings calls into question the divinity of Christ. This is a very, very dangerous heresy, because if Christ isn't God, there is no point to any of this. If Christ is no...
