KAUAI, HAWAII, February 1, 2004: The April-May-June ’04 issue of Hinduism Today (coming out early March) will contain a special 16-page article giving very good and full answers to the 10 questions Hindus hear most often — generally with embarrassment for lack a strong, clear answer. “Are Hindus idol worshippers?” can be quite disturbing, even damaging, when the answer is not known. Here, in this article, they will see the simple answer anyone can understand and remember: We do not worship idols… we invoke God from the higher unseen worlds into the images! Each short answer is followed by a longer elucidation often giving more esoteric and mystical dimensions of the subject. The article was conceived in response to a great need expressed again and again through the decades. The questions are about caste, cows, karma, idols, many gods, pottu, vegetarianism, Hindu “Bible,” reincarnation and about whether the Gods really do marry.
So much enthusiasm is generating already that Hinduism Today editors will print 50,000 extra copies of the article by itself and bind them into color-illustrated booklets to be given away throughout the world. But considering how great the need, they would like that number to grow and have issued an appeal for kind souls to sponsor extra copies — each US dollar able to purchase about 10 copies. If you wish to help, please call or contact by February 15, when the print order needs to go in. Tel 1-888-464-1008 or 1-808-240-3108, fax 808-822-3152 or e-mail “source” above.
