At the Fremont Hindu Temple and Cultural Center priests did a special ritual ,that involved sprinkling butter onto flames, that “…turned a deity called Lord Jannath into a living god. — one of 330 million in the Hindu religion, a number that represents that God is everywhere. “ People from around the world have been at the temple, and been leavening offerings of “coconuts and fruit” to the statue of Lord Jagannath. They also bathed him, brushed his teeth and put him to sleep(I don’t know how to do that to a statue) “He is considered to be "lord of the universe" and his wide-open eyes indicate to believers that he can see all things.”
Rather the event being interesting to me, it is the Hindi Religion. I grew up from Catholic Schooling, from kindergarten to high school; I was exposed to these religions but very briefly. Though Hinduism is a very broad subject to cover, I’m pretty sure I can find a specific subject on it. Right now I have and Idea on researching the integration of Hinduism to the daily life’s of American citizens or may be the differences in values that new generation Hindis have or lost then the old generation gave or were lost in translation. I would also like to know a little bit more about this religion, it always fascinated me. I could find out its begging’s, its legends, and its customs. Also I could use the information I get in the future for a better mannered man.
