NEW DELHI The Golden Temple, a sprawling and serene complex of gleaming gold and polished marble that is the spiritual center of the Sikh religion, is one of Indias most popular tourist attractions. Revered by Indians of all faiths, it is a cherished emblem of Indias religious diversity. So it was no surprise when the gold-plated marvel was touted as the likely third stop on President Obamas visit to India, scheduled for early November.
But the United States has ruled out a Golden Temple visit, according to an American official involved in planning. Temple officials said that American advance teams had gone to Amritsar, the holy city where the temple is located, to discuss a possible visit. But the plan appears to have foundered on the thorny question of how Mr. Obama would cover his head, as Sikh tradition requires, while visiting the temple.
To come to golden temple he needs to cover his head, said Dalmegh Singh, secretary of the committee that runs the temple. That is our tradition. It is their problem to cover the head with a Christian hat or a Muslim cap.

You are intelligent, illustrious & an inventor.
There is nothing in this world thats too difficult for you;
Whenever stuck, you are the one who can help.”

That “wind” reference related to Hanuman is interesting isn’t it? Based on who ‘the prince of the power of the air’ is.
It gives the greatest hint to who Obama is really serving.
Yeah, ha ha.
They are Sikhs, not Moslems. He can bow to Moslems but he cannot show any respect for a non-Mohammedan religion. It would be blasphemy for him.

I guess you didn’t read my post very well.
Sikh and tired of these overseas Obama escapades. They do NO GOOD, if anything they bring shame on the USA, like the phony, moronic bowing in Japan about a year ago.
