NEWS BRIEF: "Is Obama devotee of monkey-god idol?", World Net Daily, June 27, 2008
"A group of Hindus in India have presented Sen. Barack Obama's campaign with a two-foot Hindu monkey-god idol after hearing the candidate carries a smaller version of the Lord Hanuman good-luck charm with him as he vies for the presidency."
Notice that Senator Obama carried with him a small replica of the Hindu monkey-god idol as he campaigned for the Presidency! This means that Obama is looking to this small Hindu god as a talisman, which is an object charged with protecting the wearer!
"Earlier this week, according to reports in India, Obama representative Carolyn Sauvage-Mar accepted the gold-plated statue, promising to pass it on to the candidate after is it sanctified through ritual Hindu prayers."
" ' The idol is being presented to Obama as he is reported to be a Lord Hanuman devotee and carries with him a locket of the monkey god along with other good luck charms', reported the Times of India."
As the above quote indicates from Obama representative Carolyn Sauvage-Mar, the Illinois Senator was pleased and honored by receiving this Hindu idol as a gift.
" 'Obama has deep faith in Lord Hanuman, and that is why we are presenting an idol of Hanuman to him', said Bhama. Accepting the souvenir, Sauvage-Mar, chairwoman of Democrats Abroad-India, said, 'Obama has extended his thanks for the support'."
Barack Obama will receive this idol just in time to give him "good luck" in the Democrat National Convention in Denver!
"The idol will be kept at the temple for 11 days and then sent to the U.S. It will reach Obama by Aug. 24 – a day before the Democratic National Convention opens in Denver."
We should not be surprised that Obama reveres a Hindu god, even though he has professed that he is a Christian and prays to Jesus every day. How can we reconcile this apparent contradiction?
We can understand this "paradox" when we read Masonic literature and discover that Masons have always revered the gods of other religions. Let us quickly examine the pertinent passage in a Masonic Bible, which I have on my shelf.
"No Mason needs to be told what a place of honor the Bible has in Masonry. One of the great Lights in the Order, it lies open upon the altar at the center of the Lodge ... Thus, by the very honor which Masonry pays to the Bible, it teaches us to revere every book of faith in which men find help for today and hope for the morrow, joining hands with the man of Islam as he take oath upon the Koran and with the Hindu, as he makes covenant with God upon the book he loves best ... religions are one, but Religion is one --- Therefore, it invites to its altar men of all faiths, knowing that, if they use different names for the 'Nameless One of a hundred names', that they are yet praying to the one God and Father of all." ("The Words Of A Great Masonic Divine, R.W. and Rev. Joseph Fort Newton, 'The Bible In Masonry', p. 3-4, The Masonic Bible, A.J. Holman Company, 1968)
Therefore, you can understand how Obama could depend upon a talisman/amulet of a Hindu god for protection, at the same time he says he prays to Jesus daily! Now you can understand how Obama can say that Christians and Muslims pray to the same god, just as our current Skull & Bones President has repeated on a number of occasions!
Senator Barack Obama is 32nd Degree Mason, and that tells us all we need to know!
