An American India Foundation colleague invited me to a gathering for the swami he follows, Sathya Sai Baba. (He’s the man with the ‘fro often pictured holding his palms out in blessing; find him here and 17 kilometers outside central Bangalore at his Whitefield ashram.) After a concert sung to Lakshmi and Allah, among other religious figures, young women performed this candle ceremony.
