HT Article on Historic World Hindu Congress
In the Hinduism Today April/May/June issue just sent around the globe we tell the story of an amazing event held in New Delhi November 21-13. The event was notable for being an elite gathering of world leaders who self-identify as Hindus, and in public no less. If that sounds odd, just remember that Hindus in business, politics, media, education and social work have historically kept their faith quiet, for there is a powerful and persistent restraint on the religion in Indian higher circles. But now, with the election of Prime Minister Modi, India is headed by a self-proclaimed, devout Hindu for the first time in 806 years!
The article by Francois Gautier chronicles the three day event, introduces the players and speaks to the future.

Jai Jai Shree Maha Ganesh!
Aum Namasivaya!
Thank you Swamis for pointing out the history of a self-proclaimed Hindu Prime Minister in India. It was in the making for a long time and it came to fruition only now-because the time is right for him and the world to know about Hinduism and its greatest contribution to mankind. Best of luck to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the challenges ahead of him!
