Are you a Hindu? Don’t ever give a priest a mike unless you know what you’re going to get. Over the weekend, at a baby’s naming ceremony, the priest stopped to lecture the family between every chant of his mantra, telling us how the practitioners of allopathy were all bogus. “In India, the sages knew everything a long time ago. They used to say coconut milk is bad. Do you know that coconut milk cures all your problems? Drink your food. Eat your water. That should be your motto.” Then, at a wedding yesterday, the priest wouldnt let go of the mike in the presence of a half-Jewish audience and seemed to trivialize our wedding vows and their meaning. At the moment, if you’re a Hindu priest in the Bay Area, pray and, pray, just stay away from Kal unless you are Pandit Ravichandran.
