Sangha
“You have the God of Israel they call Jehovah. The Christians God they call the Christ. In Islam they have Allah. We Hindus have several among us which are Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu. Your friends the Maasai, have Enkai. Then there’s Buddha. My friends, the list goes on. How many gods are there? But more important than how many gods, the question is, what makes it worth being a god?”
