President Obama and Hindu Priest Sri Narayanachar Digalakote, bowing down before Hindu Oil Lamp, Wednesday at the White House.

Hindu Rituals–Sanatana Dharma Holy Practices Lighting of an Oil Lamp: “…Light is a manifestation of Goddess Lakshmi, symbolizing knowledge, brilliance, health and wealth…Hindu’s believe that by lighting lamps, they are inviting their favorites gods and goddesses into their hearts and dwellings.”

Exodus 23:24 “You shall not prostate yourself before their gods, you shall not worship them and you shall not follow their practices but you should tear them down and you should utterly destroy their monuments.”
