00:18 I'm trying to get in shape for my trip to India.
00:20 Christ said to go into all the world and preach the gospel
00:25 to every creature.
00:26 The problem is we have no idea who they are.
00:32 How are we supposed to effectively communicate
00:34 the gospel to a people we know nothing about; how they think,
00:38 what kind of pressures they have in their daily lives.
00:41 Come with me and let's meet India Face to Face.
01:01 Palani is a city dominated by Hinduism
01:04 Every year millions of devoted worshippers make the pilgrimage
01:08 to Palani, and what has become an industry
01:11 in religious tourism.
01:12 Today we're going to meet someone who will give us a look
01:16 behind the curtain, and maybe we'll gain a greater
01:18 appreciation for the rare concept
01:21 of historical authenticity.
01:26 I noticed that there's another temple over there.
01:29 What is that temple?
06:47 I mean these god's are all human.
06:50 They have human passions.
06:52 Yeah, they do.
06:53 They think like humans.
06:54 They fight with each other.
06:56 Yeah.
07:14 But they didn't get pure hearts.
07:16 They just got more powerful.
07:18 Yeah.
07:20 So if the god's have human passions, then the people have..
07:58 That is so difficult.
07:59 Who makes all these stories up?
11:28 That's where the caste system developed.
11:30 Yeah, the caste system were brought by the Aryans.
13:14 So they have a lot more happiness.
13:15 Yeah, a lot more happiness.
