The candidate and the pundit
August 20, 2007
Narasimha Bhattar, on the right, is the chief Priest at the Malibu Hindu Temple, my friend, and the person who inspired the creation of puja.net. Recently some members of the Indian community held a fund raising breakfast for Hillary Clinton and Narasimha and the other priests from the temple were invited to chant some vedic blessings for her.
Narasimha said that she was very smart and appreciative of the chanting and spoke with them intently about the Vedic tradition for about 15 minutes.
