A Shiva Temple and Gurus

We are still in Kathmandu, Nepal bacause of the ash cloud from Iceland that's over the European air territory. Most of the air ports in Europe are closed and our airline, Qatar Airways told us that we shouldn't count on getting home before sometime in May :)... So... What to do?! We prayed and then went to a local travel agency and found one way tickets to Istanbul, Turkey via Saudi Arabia with Air Arabia tomorrow for only $353 per person. We are praying and hoping that these are our miracle tickets to the port of Europe... When we arrive in Istanbul our SOS missionaries from ous base in Bulgaria will meet us and then we'll go by car home through Europe... Jesus said; all things are possible for those who believe!

Today we visited an enormous temple city and a huge Shiva temple to study Hinduism and do some sight seeing. There were Hindu cremations just like in Varanasi India, and gurus who bragged about their superhuman powers... One guru meant that he could, after special yoga and meditation lift a stone that weighed 198 pounds with his penis, and another one told us that he used to float above the ground and often did trips outside his body when he was young... Yeah, yeah... What do you say?! Maybe it's true... Just as true as the same guru's smoke haschhisch and marijuana several times every day and that their eyes were all red and they were high as skyscrapers when they told us their stories...

Shiva temple in Kathmandu...

Sadhu - a Hindu holy man...

We need to give the Hindus a Jesus-gospel that is full of love, demonstrated in the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus loves the Hindus! Signs and wonders in the name of Jesus is the only thing that can open their hearts.

See ya!
