The World is the Family

If there ever is

A slice of Earth

Where every race unites,

It may not be

Your place of birth

Yet here you feel just right,

Where ideas flow

From round the world

In all their wondrous hues,

Like Orange, Yellow, Black or Green,

All make Red, White and Blue!

So lets salute

Each nation now

For they make up our roots

And with their seeds

That it received

America bears its fruit!

Below is a clip on YouTube showing India in Classrooms at the LUNAR NEW YEAR UNITY FAIR in CUPERTINO,
Kids sign up to audition for its musical, 'Watch out for the GLOBASAURUS' to be staged in 2008.

“The CD below is a recording of Mona's audio-visual presentation at Saint Jude's Church on the similarities between Christianity and Hinduism. The audio is a highly simplified explanation of aspects of Hindu culture and by itself, might seem disjointed at times due to the absence of the accompanying slides.
