quote:

*secularism* -- is an integral part of most Hindutva theological streams. Gayatri Mantra which is recited by millions all over India every day --

Akashat patitam toyam yatha gacchati sagaram
sarva deva namaskarah, keshavam pratigacchati.

In Sanskrit --
आकाशात् पतितं तोयं यथा गच्छति सागरम्
सर्व देव नमस्कारः केशवं प्रतिगच्छति |

It means --
Regardless of which river the clouds dump the rain into, the water eventually makes its way to one big ocean.
Regardless of which idol / deva you bow down to and pray, it all goes to the one God / Allah.
