	The local Bengali community in Baltimore is having their
annual Saraswati Puja next weekend, and usually attend these events,
although I usually don't participate in the Puja itself.  Some of
my Indian friends have encouraged me to do so, (I don't have any
religious objections), but I have worried about offending the
other Hindus there.  Are there any Hindus out there that would
care to comment on this?  Would you be offended?  Do you expect
others would be?
