>Hindu priest didnt recognise Britney Spears

The priest at a Hindu temple visited by pop singer Britney Spears admits he didn’t recognise her when she first arrived with her four-month-old son Sean Preston to seek spiritual guidance.

According to contactmusic.com, Spears visited a Hindu temple in Malibu, California. She was born a Baptist but has tried out Kabbalah and has now turned to eastern religions, according to the temple minister Samundrala Krishna Ma Charyulu.

Charyulu said Spears was seeking “spiritual guidance” and added: “She and her baby joined us in prayer inside our Ganesh Temple. I wrapped some Hindu cloth around them both and gave them some flowers to wear as part of the ceremony.”

He hopes she will return to the temple. He said: “The whole time she was very humble and respectful.”
