Interesting comment from Mr. Vani, as well: "My wife is originally from a Hindu Brahmin family, but she had found the Lord." Which lord? There are quite a few in the Indian pantheon, if memory serves.* Anyway, I'd personally be chary of any organization trying to push a religious agenda of any kind, but the Abrahamics in particular - and Christianity and Islam specifically - seem to spawn the largest per-capita quantities of fanatical devotees. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. ==== * Irony. I know which "Lord" is being referred to. It's Lord Krishna, of course.
