Obama lights Diwali lantern

[GeorgiaGuyjlk]

OK if you really want to talk about Pagan rituals, and then let’s talk about how the Christian church stomped out a way of life that had existed for century’s and then stole some of the same pagan holidays and rituals and Christianized then, Seems to me that country was founded on the freedom of religion, By that I don’t mean the Christian religion I mean all religions, Seem that the Christian message was spread through war which has nothing to do with God what sever .

[Damachian]

Those damn Racists BELOW can fall in the well, fart and die

This is Youtube religion and dont talk about this religious THINGS if you want to you can go to w w w . g o d t u b e . c o m and talk those shits

[BeantownJim]

pagen rituals in the white house! no wonder we are not blessed by God!

[tintintabulations]

@BeantownJim You must have a really childish religion to spout such nonsense.

[BeantownJim]

@tintintabulations Seperation of church and state? Only when it suits obama.This muslim has to go!

[108Nanvan]

This is wonderful! We are a nation of many religions, creeds, races, beliefs and so on. Dear ang9967, please stop insulting my religion (Christianity) with your ignorance.

[krazyrich]

@108Nanvan You are Christian? Well, Christ Himself said there is only one way to the Father, and that that way was through him, correct?

If you really do believe His words, then why do you brag about so-called religious diversity? Should we not instead be focusing our efforts at evangelizing these non-Christian people?

[MissDignity90]

happy diwali.

[moverraj]

obama, the coolest president of this great country. neither there was somebody like him nor will be.

[brazon96]

i love obama

[EncompassedRunner]

yes, as Obama-proxy Newsweek reported: "we are all Hindus now"

[fujiashley]

sad day for christian america.....obama will send the whole of us to hell

[milindpania]

well, better to be in hell than in the discriminatory heaven of yours, with your sadistic god, ridiculous original sin and fascist, science hating church propaganda.

we admit our mistakes and allow other religions freedom, but you think that only your religion is right and the others are wrong. hinduism, jainism, buddhism and sikhism respect other religions as different paths to the same spiritual goal, whereas abrahamic religions claim that only they are right and all others should go to hell.

[ang9967]

They take bible out of schools, but this ? promoting a hindu religion that exhalts one as a GOD? PPL Everyone u see on tv/ hear on radio/past & present history/ leaders r from linage of cain, is why they r all related. They hv been controlling all past civilizations, they go in cycles. This is why u find mayan stones with heart surgery carvings & depictions of planes, helicopters, & rockets in pharohs tombs. Goal is 1 world gov to seat the anti-christ! Jesus return soon! Look up halo cloud.

[vatd112]

You are most certainly a deeply confused person

[DeepJajal]

shut up idiot!

[VIRMALINE108]

don't forget that Christianity is brought to America with weapons an American Indians are real owners of the country! all religions should be respected!

[ssukhwal]

man everyone is the real owner of the country as soon as they respect it!!!

[vatd112]

There is NO Christian America. There is NO Hindu America. There is NO Jewish America. There is only a United States of America where all religions are equally respected and valued

[SagarThakkar]

get a life.

[deekshiksha]

Happy Divali to all those who are celebrating!

[northprincef]

who is this cool reporter that took this video?

[vishvesh28]

On behalf of Indian People, I wish you, your family and United States of America. A prosperous New Year and Happy Diwali.

Regards,

Vishvesh

[mcuriousyellow]

President Obama truly deserves our appreciation.Tolerance of other religions is the way to peace.Hinduism says that it is possible for all religions to co-exist (SARVA DHARMA SAMBHAV).The President deserves his Nobel Peace Prize !I am glad that he has the humility to admit that the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi influenced social change in America through the medium of Martin Luther King,jr.And let us not forget that the apostle of peace...Mahatma Gandhi ...was Hindu !!! Happy Divali dear friends!

[1sr0]

Happy Diwali to all everybody!

[1sr0]

i am loving how everybody is ignoring jon0441/turd. Good job guys. He doesn't exist for sane people.

[tutu1234]

Happy Diwali!

[yoyoyo1418]

HAPPY DIWALI!!

[jon0441]

instead of crapppy discussions//////...

lets all be indian together and i am sure we will make a great nation...

[tutu1234]

Jon Ur comments saddens me....Plz dont spread all this here...If u want to do evangilism and spread hate for Hindus u r most welcome! Do it !

[jon0441]

U FUCKHEADS U r saying only hindus contribute a lot to this world.. dont forget india is not jst hindus it is also the other religions that contribute to indian society,.

[jon0441]

dont worry ull keep trying but ull wont become famous..........

clean ur hearts first

ban the RSS, BJP coz if they come they will ruin india by their hindu philosphy and india will be divided only because of these fuckers

[jon0441]

im not against hindus...... if anyone misunderstood me.

all we christians want is stop killing christians in orissa,,,, christians are the most peaceful community in india keep it that way

[1sr0]

hey Retard, the Churches in east states of India stores weapons and give them to Christian terrorists and they go around killing innocent Hindus that go on with their lives. This is how they converted the whole state of Nagaland into a Christian state. lol to you, you idiot and your retard brain.

[jon0441]

ur a joke man................lived in america and dont know proper facts.......

dont worry hinduism wont be number 1 my guarentee

it will be abrahamic religions like jews, christians and muslims

LMAO>...... westerners dont become hindus yes they follow t a screwed up religion but in their hearts mind souls they are christians... the christian feel in the west is still there....whatever happens christianity will rock in the west.

[1sr0]

I appreciate your comment and I am disgusted by this jon0441's retard brain but I just want to point it out to you that we are not small. We have almost a billion followers. Don't buy into this retard's argument. He/she is talking out of his/her ass. We are the 3rd largest religion in the world behind the violent religions like Christianity and Islam, both sister religions that had holy wars and crusades in their history and that conquered, pillaged and destroyed societies and converted people.

[1sr0]

Hindus never had the history of religious crusades like Christians, didn't kill people in those crusades in the name of religion like Christians and their cousins Muslims did in the past. The vast amount of wisdom and philosophy that Hinduism provided to the world is of higher quality when compared to Christians going around telling people that they will go to hell if they don't accept Christ or their sister religion Islam saying that anybody that is not muslim is an infidel. Lol, you idiot!

[jon0441]

lol.............. hindus trying to make it in US also......

HINDUS:: If u want to be treated well in US first stop killing christians in INDIA....then u will get the reward

hinduism probably smallest religion in the world...........

[1sr0]

hey Retard, Hinduism is the oldest religion in the world with one billion followers with vast amounts of wisdom and philosophy. All this without invading other countries, destroying societies like Christians did. How is it the smallest religion in the world? Are you that dumb? If you are going to be this dumb, do you think people will even care for what you say?

[1sr0]

Tell your people to stop converting poor Hindus & stop destroying their culture and religion. Stop conversions and Hindus won't make a sound. They are not power hungry and controlling like Christians are. BTW, Hindus are treated well in the USA. They didn't invade the USA, they did not come here and destroy the religion of this country. They are here giving wonderful contributions to the country. Unlike your people who go around the world, invade,conquer,loot and then finally convert people.

[tomyloveu]

nice...

[shadowinfernape101]

Is he the priest of shiva Vishnu temple in

WAshington DC ??/

[jodybeck26]

We called the temple in Lanham, Md., and confirmed his identity with them after getting his name and temple name from the White House. Thanks for watching the video.

-Jody Beck

[platinumcouch284]

ooppssiee! They should have gotten a better "pundit/priest" to perform the ritual. That priest is yelling!!

[mcuriousyellow]

ya we should audition the priests for such a platform.Besides it wouldnt be a bad idea to get singers like yamini krishnamurti,suresh wadkar to create the right ambience.

[platinumcouch284]

mcurious! If you have ever attended a proper rendition or any "authentic" pooja ceremony will you ever know what am talking about. I am not saying it shud be fancy or this guy is bogus, but there is a "proper method" for everything. A tone and "ucchara" for every word. You cannot yell like that. This concept is scientific because mostly these shlokas are about frequencies and tones that send vibrations to mind. So when uttered properly they will have great effects on mind as well as body.

[platinumcouch284]

Anyhow!! Just a small aspect that we need to take care... No big deal! the fact that such a ceremony happening itself is a great inspiration Obama is giving us. Great! ..he is leading by example! :)

[mcuriousyellow]

oh i dont deny that.and i shud know cos my family is full of sanskrit teachers and priests.but personally i wouldnt mind a new ring to the traditional.rigidity can can be quite stiff. time.
