But praying to swamis and god-men is something that me and the rest of my family cannot digest and I might add that the rest of my family is much-more god-friendly that I am lately. To me, these individuals may have proven to be spiritual gurus for certain people who had the fortune of being wealthy and influential. Perhaps these ’swamis may not have even preferred the temples that are built in their name but now they exist and they have literally replaced gods. But I guess, to each his own and of course, I will exercise my displeasure by never visiting the temple again. To make matters simple, the temple seemed to actively support gender discrimination that I vehemently oppose. It is an aspect of Hindu religion that I have always disagreed with and thankfully, in most temples that I have visited it doesn’t exist.
Patrix visits a Swami Narayan Temple and comes back disappointed.

I’ve not been able to visit Patrix’s site for quite some time now. This is what I see on my screen:
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access / on this server.
Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Strange!!

Sherene, I’m not sure why you got that message. Try again. Probably the server was down. Or better still, my blog might be banned in your city/state/country
Email me and we’ll figure out what’s the problem.
