India shining!

Yesterday, we(Me and 6 other people including my husband) were in the first temple that was built in the US of A, well I am talking about Pittsburgh's very own Sri Venkateshwara temple. The temple is a beautiful one situated on top of a hill, just like it's parent(Thirumala in Thirupathi!), called the Penn Hills and like all the other temples in the US, is owned by the "stinking lo rich" (a very telugu way of saying extremely rich, but well that is just another story!!) telugu community. I must admit, the temple has beautiful architecture and landscaping, with its very South Indianish looking domes.
But, well that is not really what this is about!
I went inside the temple and found a couple of white and black men, cleaning the temple! They were sweeping, mopping, laying tiles(u get the idea, I gss!!)and what not, without their shoes!!
To find catholics(or watever!), shoeless inside a temple, actually scrubbing the floors clean was quite a sight!!
I kinda synonymize India and Hinduism, because I truely believe that if it was not for the broadmindedness(sarcasm in oodles!!) of the Hindus, other religions would have never found their way into this country, and so I say India is shining!! we rock!! :)
