WASHINGTON, DC, USA, October 16, 2009: President Barack Obama is not only the first American president to attend the annual Diwali celebration held at the White House, but he is also the first to issue a video congratulating Hindus. See it at source above.

In his video message, President Obama talks about the Ramayana and the triumph of good over evil. The president mentions the Sanskrit mantra Asato Ma Sad Gamaya, and recites a translated version. It is a remarkable display of the respect the 2.4-million strong Hindu community in the U.S. has earned.

Ya even i have seen it,when i seen it first i was shocked by his messages. Thanks for sharing this link to everyone.

Thanx for the interesting link.

It makes me proud as an Indian to find respect for its culture in the west!

Obama has been a great public speaker and crowd puler during the campaigns.Now trying to fit himself for Indian politics even! :)

I understand he may be trying to woo the huge hindu vote bank.

Whatever It be It feels very happy to see Our Nation in Limelight! :)

Jai Hind!
