: My name is Cristian Alvarez. I am a High School teacher and next semester (January '98) I am going to be teaching and Introduction to the World's Religions. I would appreciate to be adviced by you about what would be the best documentary videos or movies about Hinduism for my class. Also I would appreciate if you can tell me where can I find a bookstore or videostore to buy them. I am asking you because I would like to show documentary videos done by hindu people and not by outsiders of your faith. Also, do you know any Hindu people living in Palm Springs, California, or anyone interested in coming to my class to explain Hinduism? Could you tell me how to find if there is any temple or Hindu organization where I live? I would like to have a speaker guest in my class to exchange experiences with my students. Thank you for your colaboration. My address is:
