J.D. Gallop, "Hinduism finds a second Brevard home at Suntree site," Florida Today, 8/26/11

This article discusses the construction of a new Hindu temple called Manav Mandir in Brevard County, FL. It is interesting because it highlights the need to accommodate the diversities of these 'world religions' in our American culture. It is interesting to note the tone of the author, refreshingly positive, about the integration of this group of people into the subculture in Florida.  In doing so he illustrates the dynamics involved with accepting varying religions and he emphasizes that it can be successful to have varying opinions in close proximity. Gallop includes quotes from several Indian Hindus who will be directly affected by the construction, emphasizing the good this project will bring to the community as a whole -not just to the Hindus. This article offers an enlightening glance into the religious endeavors of the minority in America and successfully allows one to relate to these Hindus (whom they might not otherwise consider to have any common ground). Further, this article becomes subtly educating for non-Hindus, by explaining the origins of some of the Hindu practices and gods.
