What a beautiful day,
Meeting new people,
Talking and laughing,
Eating fine food,
Drinking Indian tea,
Chanting in Hindi,
Singing Indian songs.
Such a wonderful time
Found in a world,
A world I had never known.
A world of joy, love and praise,
Praise to all people,
All people,
All religions,
All beliefs and none,
Such an open world
To which we were invited.
A day of new knowledge,
New knowledge and joy
Were found,
Found within their lives
Which they shared,
Shared with us
On this wonderful day.

I couldn't eat their hot food!
Nor could they, they do not make it that hot, it was superb.

you are a very lucky fella sir .. and then some
I surely am Neville and I am so grateful for things like this happening in my life.

I have visited many religions and studied about others but none seem so accepting of diverse gods and beliefs as the Hindu. Everyone has their own personal god and everyone is fine with that. A great write Andy
So true soren, we all have our own gods, Unitarianism believes in a similar way that we eah have our own god.

And does Orchi know any Hindi songs? Fido's cousin, MacFido, knows Scottish songs. lol.
Sounds fun—tremendous work.
It was a great time |Thomas, thank you.
