**Vandalism at BAPS Hindu Temple Sparks Outrage in California**
Unknown miscreants defaced the BAPS Hindu temple in California with offensive graffiti, prompting widespread condemnation. This incident followed a similar desecration at a BAPS temple in New York just days prior. BAPS Public Affairs expressed solidarity against hate and vowed to work with law enforcement to address this act of intolerance.
Community leaders gathered for a prayer ceremony to promote harmony and denounce intolerance, echoing the teachings of Mahant Swami Maharaj. The growing trend of temple vandalism targeting the Hindu community in the US has raised concerns among leaders like Amerish Babulal Bera and Congressman Ro Khanna, who called for a thorough investigation.
As the Indian-American community rallies against hate, calls for enhanced security at temples and justice for those responsible have gained momentum. BAPS, known for its extensive presence in North America, remains committed to fostering peace and tolerance in the face of such disturbing incidents.
