Hindus suggest Lindsay Lohan to take a dip in holy river Ganges
December 9th, 2009 - 1:44 pm ICT by Sampurn WireSeeing her belief in “karma”, Hindus are urging Hollywood diva Lindsay Lohan to take a dip in holy river Ganges during her current travel to India to make a BBC documentary.
Lohan wrote on social networking service “twitter’ sometime back: “i’m all about Karma.. what goes around comes around!”
Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that Lohan should make use of her trip to India to “rediscover” herself by spending some time in an ashram (hermitage) and taking a dip in holy Ganges. It is believed that bath in the sacred Ganges purifies one of all sin, and its water if taken daily confers immortality. It finds mention in Rig-Veda; oldest existing scripture of mankind dated around 1,500 BCE.
Zed, who is president of Universal Society of Hinduism, pointed out that ashram stay would help bring Lohan tranquility, spirituality and serenity. Ashram is a place of retreat usually used for spiritual development and India is full of them. Members of English rock band “The Beatles” (Yellow Submarine) spent long periods at a Rishikesh ashram on the Ganges riverbank.
MTV Award winner American actress-singer-model Lindsay Dee Lohan (Mean Girls), 23, who has topped Maxim’s “Hot 100″, reportedly flew out for India from Los Angeles International Airport (USA) on the night between December 7-8 to make a documentary for BBC Network. Lohan is reportedly excited about this charity project and wants to “make the difference”.
Generally ashrams are located away from the crowds in forests or other places amidst natural surroundings, which are suitable for meditation and spiritual instruction and find mention in Hindu scriptures. Lord Krishna himself went to sage Sandipani’s ashram to gain knowledge, Rajan Zed points out.
Hinduism is the oldest and third largest religion of the world with about one billion adherents and moksha (liberation) is its ultimate goal.
