Folks,

We should be proud as Hindus today as the 'correct' prayers were offered in the floor of the U.S. Senate, representing our graet religion. It started with the Gayathri mantra (I would have personally preferred not to have included a matra, but may be a sloka), it ended with sayings form our great Upanishads. If read what was recited, you can not but come away with tears - tears that roll down because of the Universal Truth of our religion was spoken in an alien land that respects humanity, but also because it pierces through all the mis truths about our religion. We should commend the priest who took the initiative to do it.

And judging from the reaction of certain fundamental Christian sects to it, we need to make sure that the west understands about our religion better than how it is portrayed in general.
