Julia Roberts warmly welcomed into Hinduism
Noted Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada, United States of America, heartily welcomed Roberts into Hinduism. She would appreciate rich, diverse and long tradition of Hindu philosophy; and its interpretation of the nature of reality.
HINDUS HAVE extended warm welcome to Oscar winner Hollywood star Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) into the Hindu fold. As per a fashion magazine, Julia Roberts has admittted that she has embraced Hinduism and goes to temple to 'chant, pray and celebrate'. "I am definitely a practicing Hindu", says Roberts, who grew up with a Catholic mother and Baptist father.
Zed, who is the president of Universal Society of Hinduism, further said that if Roberts needed any help in deeper Hinduism exploration, he or other Hindu scholars would be glad to assist.
Rajan Zed suggested Roberts to realise the self. Ancient Hindu scripture Katha Upanishad points out that when wise realise the self, they go beyond sorrow. Self is supreme and those who meditate on self are freed from the cycle of birth and death. When one realises self, there is nothing else to be known.
According to reports, Roberts has been interested in yoga for quite some time. She was in Haryana (India) in September last to shoot 'Eat, Pray, Love' in an ashram (retreat). In January 2009, she sported a 'bindi' (vermillion mark on forehead) during her trip to India when she also visited Taj Mahal with husband Danny Moder. She has a production company called 'Red Om Films', and 'Om' in Hinduism is the mystical syllable containing the universe.
Roberts lead 'Eat, Pray, Love' (Ryan Murphy) is releasing in the USA and Canada on August 13.
