FAKIR HASSEN, JOHANNESBURG, APRIL 21, 2001: Fifteen South African Hindu youth organizations collaborated to present one of the largest religious gatherings in the mainly Indian populated area of Lenasia. The organizations are hosting Ram Kathas, or recitals of the story of Hindu Lord Ram, by well-known Indian preacher, Morari Bapu. The event, which will continue through April 22, has been attracting over 5,000 people every day since it started last Saturday. Local Hindu leaders have expressed pride that the South African Hindu youth showed an interest in taking care of their religion and cultural heritage.
