KAUAI, HAWAII, March 23, 2008: In our research on “crossing the ocean” as an offense which causes loss of caste, the question has come up if there is any parallel in another religion. Does any other religion restrict a priest or a follower from leaving an area considered holy, or restrict the means of travel, such as by sea? If you have any insight on the issue in other faiths, kindly e-mail ar@hindu.org.
