Religious Adaptation in Britain People in Britain have shown remarkable difference in the religious expression towards the later part of the twentieth century (Parsons, 1994, p. 7). A secular society with a different culture became obvious. There was in addition a tendency to the emergence as a diverse population with a variety of cultures, much different from the post Second World war period. Life in Britain has also exhibited an intricacy interwoven into the religious nature of the society. Following a football tragedy where nearly a hundred people were killed, people turned out by the hundreds to mourn for the lost ones. Oblivious of religion or creed, the society was one as the situation demanded. The field was full of floral tributes, messages and football scarves. All rose to the occasion in one breath and prayed for the lost people whether they belonged to them or not. Arnfield, the football ground, had become a shrine with long queues of mourners and ‘pilgrims’ who did not belong locally but came from afar. The intricate intermingling of cultures was evident from those days (Parsons, 1994, p. 7). The press played up their news and religious leaders could not help making statements which recognized the secularity of the religions in Britain. The churches had special services which were attended by all leaving behind more football memorabilia. People from contemporary life traveled to graves and historical sites in memory of heroes of the war. Wives whose husbands died long ago were permitted to visit their graves at subsidized costs. Llanpumsaint used to be a place of pilgrimage for Christians in Wales. However pilgrimages to this place in present days are mostly to visit the Community of the Many Names of God. This is a Hindu-Buddhist community close to the village of Llanpumsaint. In 1973, a guru of Hindu-Buddhist descent founded this community (Parsons, 1994, p.11). Two farms and a temple are situated here. A small community of members who are residing here and accommodation for a few visitors are available. It was a sought after place for around 15000 visitors a year in the 1980s. Two thirds of the visitors were Hindus and the rest from all religions. This indicates the secular situation in Britain. Buddhists from London, Milton Keynes and Chithurst in Sussex have been regular visitors. The Community has mainly Hindu traditions and then Buddhist elements. Christian, Jewish, Sikh and Muslim traditions have contributed to the community in addition. The statues and pictures of Guru Nanak, Jesus, Mary, St Francis of Assissi apart from those of the Hindu deities and Buddha are found here (Parsons, 1994, p. 11). The message imparted speaks of one God and anyone can worship the Lord in this temple. God’s family is one and divisions based on religion, race or background has no meaning here. Hinduism A word about Hinduism is appropriate here. The term Hindu has Persian roots. It is a term referring to people living beyond the Indus (Bowen, 1998, p. 1). Does Hinduism just mean that Hindus are people who are not Muslim or Jain or Sikh or Christian? There is no single definition of Hinduism. It could mean that a large number of traditions, beliefs and practices exist which may differ only slightly from the other religions. Hinduism has no founder but it has many texts which give somewhat similar pictures of Hinduism (Bowen, 1998, p. 2
