Gaga, 25, has been quoted as saying, “I actually find that a lot of my philosophies about art are mirrored in the Hindu religion….I love reading Osho (Indian Mystic)….I began to reflect on how reincarnation was relevant….”

Distinguished Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that as Lady Gaga explored Hinduism further, she would appreciate rich, diverse and long tradition of Hindu philosophy; and its interpretation of the nature of reality.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, further said that if Gaga needed any help in deeper Hinduism exploration, he or other Hindu scholars would be glad to assist.

Rajan Zed recommends Gaga to realize the self. Ancient Hindu scripture, Katha, Upanishad points out what when wise realize the self, they go beyond sorrow. Self is supreme and those who meditate on self are freed from the cycle of birth and death. When one realize self, there is nothing else to be known, Zed quotes.

While deconstructing Gaga’s “Born This Way” video; many critics, fansites, and others mentioned the presence of third eye, lotus flowers, Hindu goddess, etc.. imagery in it; which they claimed was a symbolism taken from Hinduism.

Gaga was also quoted as saying that her album “Born This Way” was about reincarnation and liberation, being reborn over and over again. She said to be obsessed with Hindu sacred symbol Om and Reportedly asked her associates to acquire jewellery/accessories/material contained OM and wanted to read more about it. She is reportedly intrigued by Hindu symbolism and religious figures, and earlier this year she quoted a line from Osho on Twitter.

Oscar winner Hollywood star Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) joined the Hindu fold in the recent past. Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about one billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal.

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism!

The concept of 33 koti devata in Hinduism: The Vedas refer to not 33 crore Devatas but 33 types (Koti in Sanskrit) of Devatas. They are explained in Shatpath Brahman and many other scriptures very clearly. "Yasya Trayastrinshad Devaa Ange Sarve Samaahitaa, Skamma Tam Bruhi Katamah Swideva Sah”. ~(Atharva Veda 10-7-13) Which means: with God’s influence, these thirty-three (supporting devta) sustain the world. In Brhadaranyaka Upanishad while discussing Brahman, Yajnavalkya is asked how many gods are there. He says that there are three hundred and three and three thousand and three gods. When the question is repeated? He says, thirty three. When the question is again repeated he says, six. Finally, after several repetitions he says ONE. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 1) The number 33 comes from the number of Vedic gods explained by Yajnavalkya in Brhadaranyaka Upanishad – the eight Vasus, the eleven Rudras, the twelve Adityas, Indra and Prajapati. (Chapter I, hymn 9, verse 2
