Swami Dharamdev of Hari Mandir, Pataudi, where `Eat, Pray and Love' was shot for three weeks in September-October last year, said it is good news if someone accepts Hinduism from the heart.
In a statement, Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism in the US, also said he and his fellow practitioners welcome Roberts into the fold.
Notice how the language of Christianity has penetrated even there.

True. Hinduism isn't a proselytizing religion and it doesn't insist that it's the only way to salvation - there is no "fold" for Roberts to be welcomed into. She could continue to worship Christ every Sunday - she would not be breaking any Hindu commandment and would not be excommunicated from any Hindu "fold".

‘Notice how the language of Christianity has penetrated even there.’
Since Christianity in India was reputed to have been founded by one of Christ’s apostles (Thomas) it penetrated well over 1900 years ago.
