Never the twain shall meet...or should they?

At SKAR, we pay special attention to the meeting of worlds that ordinarily never collide. Turskish TV game show and Religion? Who would have thought. This is the premise of the show:
Muslim imam, Christian priest, rabbi and Buddhist monk are put in a room with 10 atheists. These spiritual leaders, have to convince the non-believers to join their religion. The prize for converts will be seven days fully paid vacation on an island of their choice. Just kidding. The prize...the grand prize (drum roll please) will be a pilgrimage to a holy site of their chosen religion -- Mecca for Muslims, the Vatican for Christians, Jerusalem for Jews and Tibet for Buddhists.

We highly support this madness. However, one very large religious group seems to be missing. An act of omission by design because we Hindus are just too crazy for TV? Well if the Turks wanted some real entertainment they would involve us. At SKAR we think Naga Baba Bir Giri Ji would gladly participate in the show (if he can't convince he will coerce by threatening to rub his belly on you):




And of course the grand prize will be a trip to the largest gathering in humanity (the last one was attended by 60 million people!): The Kumbh Mela:
