New Orleans Sikh Temple - Hurricane Katrina Sikh Miracle: Although water was thigh-high in the temple, the scriptures were found floating on the surface, undamaged.
Bausman, his friend, a Sikh from a Sikh organization and a man they met during the trip eventually found the temple. The doors were fallen in and the water was about four feet deep. Bausman put on rubber waders to safely walk through the water. And in the prayer room, as sunlight shone down through the one unbroken, stained-glass window onto the opaque water, Bausman discovered something amazing. The island where the book and other sacred items rested close to the floor rose up with the thigh-high water. Everything else in the temple had been destroyed, but the scriptures, covered with bluish silk, remained intact and untouched by the flood.
