Fourteen foreign nations who are here to attend an international symposium on Vedic astrology have embraced Hinduism. The conversion ceremonies were performed at the office of the Arya Samajam here in the last two days. Two of them later got married according to Hindu religious rites at the Azhakodi Devi temple here.

The Arya Samajam 'purohit' (priest), Indrajit Singh, who performed the rituals to initiate the foreigners into Hinduism, told THE HINDU, that he had received a few more similar requests. The foreign nationals having the US and British passports have assumed Hindu names.
