Krishna, Radha, Hanuman re-installed in Lahore

[struggle4progress]

Lahore, Feb 21 (IANS) Hindu shrines are being restored and repaired and idols are being installed at some of the temples in Pakistan for the first time since subcontinent's partition in 1947 ...

The temple not only has idols from India, but a team of Punjab's Archaeological Department also toured India to learn techniques in restoration and conservation ...

Earlier, the worship last Saturday at the Katas Raj temple complex, which is mentioned in the Puranas (the ancient Hindu scriptures), also marked a first worship performed at this temple since partition. It coincided with Mahashivratri, the Hindu festival dedicated to Lord Shiva.

1. Good for Pakistan for doing this

One of the early Sufi saints told his students it didn't matter where you worshiped, for God is found in all things. He would be pleased with what has happened.

One thing that I find curious, though--Hanuman is associated with Ram and Sita-from the story the Ramayana--sort of surprised to see him with Krishna and Rahde--though Hanuman is the embodiment of Divine Service and Devotion.

BTW, if you're ever in Taos, NM, they have a lovely Hanuman temple.
