Julia Roberts’s conversion is among top ‘religion stories’ of 2010

Jan 1, 2011, DNA India

Extract:
The conversion of Oscar-winning Hollywood actress Julia 'Pretty Woman' Roberts to Hinduism is among the top-20 '2010 Religion Stories of the Year' list created by the Religion Newswriters Association (RNA).

In this list, Roberts, the only Hollywood personality to make the list, is in the company of Pope Benedict XVI, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, and the Reverend Franklin Graham (son of Billy Graham), among others.

An RNA release on the subject said: "Hinduism gains more of the spotlight through the... word of star Julia Roberts's conversion to it."

Roberts, who grew up with a Catholic mother and Baptist father, became interested in Hinduism after seeing a picture of Hanuman devotee Hindu guru Neem Karoli Baba, who died in 1973 and whom she never met.
