India: Home to Old & New World Religions
~ A Presentation by Vasu Mohan ~
 
The NOVA Baha’i Center is hosting a series of talks exploring different cultures that immigrants carry to America, bringing to life the promise “e pluribus unum” – out of many, one.
 
The first talk explores India – a vast land of 1.2 billion people and incredible diversity. Stretching from the mighty Himalayas in the north to the Indian Ocean in the south, this nation is the birthplace of Hinduism – one of the oldest world religions. It also has one of the largest Muslim populations and the largest Baha’i community.  India is connected to the origins of the Baha’i Faith. One of the Letters of the Living, the first followers of the Báb was from India. India’s Baha’i House of Worship is one of the most visited places in the world, more than the Taj Mahal!
