Concord's meeting in September 2023 was in the BAPS Swaminarayan Hindu Temple, where Hema Yadav gave an interesting illustrated talk about some of the many holy places in India.Hema told us that Hinduism owes its fascination and character to its variety of practices, philosophies and denominations. A devout Hindu begins the day with prayers, rituals and invocations to the Divine, seeking blessings on all mundane activities. India’s sacred places and holy rivers spiritually invigorate and purify countless pilgrims. Holy places are where the Divine encounters the temporal, the higher realms touch the lower or the sacred meets the mundane.
