Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami says Hindus in America are facing issues today that immigrant Catholics faced here a century ago.

Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami, 66, is the spiritual leader of Kauai, Hawaii's Hindu Monastery, and the publisher of Hinduism Today, a quarterly magazine in its 30th year of publication. The swami, born in Berkeley, Calif., visited Houston recently to speak at the local Hindu Janamashtami celebration, marking the birth of Lord Krishna. Between posing for pictures with children and greeting older followers, the guru took a few minutes to talk about the growth of Hinduism in America.
