He added that there was no ‘divine political blueprint for us human beings to implement’. Hindus are well versed with the concept of dharma (righteousness) and can distinguish it from adharma (unrighteousness). Anything that has to do with materialism is inevitably transitory, he said.

So true. Materialism is transitory. Spritual is forever.

HOLY COW?

I like the fact that they call themselves American Hindus rather than Hindu Americans.

Good! I am opposed to block voting. Have an independent mind and think and then vote. You would be surprised how often you will vote conservative when you do that.

However, as a personal observation, let me add, that a lot of Center-Left South Asians (solely because they came here during the Clinton years and associate their prosperity with Clinton) will vote Republican for the very first time this year. They LEFT Socialism behind to come to a Capitalist land.

Most Hindus I know, especially those who have been here a while, support Obama. They have been indoctrinated by the MSM into hating Bush and they will vote for the One no matter what.

the sound of no hands voting (i know they're not Buddhists, but what the hay)

two million? That’s more than I would expect, but I suppose it makes sense.

This year more than any other I can remember, the Catholic clergy is speaking out. Our rather liberal, peace and justice pastor this morning all but told us that we cannot vote for Obama. The readings today, Exodus and Matthew, would lead one to peace and justice and illegal immigration and giving to widows and orphans and “love your neighbor” etc. He turned that to talking about the intrinsic evil of abortion and how it is more important than any other issue because if you’re not alive, you cannot enjoy any other rights. Wow, he nailed it!! Go Father Mark.

The Indo-American Hindu leader Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that religion was something sacred and spiritual; a tool for communication with God; ‘human response to divine Reality’; and meant for focusing the heart/mind of the devotee to some higher ideal. It should not be associated with materialistic objectives like partisan politics.

That's just Vishnu-l Thinking.

The rest of the story: Most Indians are small business people and most small busienss people support McCain. These people are keeping their mouths shut to protect them selfs!
