Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Subject: Hindu Temple of Georgia - FOX5 Investigation

Hello:

You might be interested in browsing to http://community.myfoxatlanta.com/blogs/RandyTravis to see the 'teaser' blog on Fox5 ITeam Investigation of Hindu Temple of Georgia and Dr. Commander Selvam Siddhar Swamiji.

Please mark your calendar to watch the I-Team report being broadcast on Fox5 (Channel 5) on Monday, July 21 and Tuesday, July 22 during the 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM newscast.

You've probably heard a lot about the "Prosperity Gospel," where some Christian preachers make no effort to hide their rich lifestyles, insisting it's God's wish for everyone to be prosperous.

There's actually an investigation in Congress right now looking at whether those church leaders, including two metro Atlanta ministers, are dodging IRS rules.

The I-Team discovered a different version: a local Hindu leader who sure acts rich and famous.

Beginning Monday at 6 and 10, we investigate the Hindu Temple of Georgia and its controversial leader, Dr. Commander Selvam. He calls himself a traveling monk, a guru, a swami, a siddhar. His critics call him a fraud.

We found he certainly breaks the mold of what most Americans might imagine when they think of a Hindu religious leader.

Instead of being uninterested in the trappings of worldly possessions, this swami lives in a million-dollar mansion, drives expensive cars and encourages the faithful to pay thousands of dollars to his Temple.

What do his followers get in return? His prayerful help in warding off a variety of problems, everything from marriage and immigration issues, to "bad dreams," "black magic" and "evil power."

Our story investigates allegations of credit card fraud, deceptive advertising and claims this swami has founded lots of other Hindu temples across the country. The truth is hilarious to see.

But it's what Dr. Commander told two undercover I-Team members that has some Hindus outraged about what's really going on inside the Hindu Temple of Georgia.
