Carlos Irigoyen Forno, Deputy Chief of Mission, Peruvian Embassy in New Delhi, introduces himself as a descendent of Incas tribals of the South American nation. He says that the Incas, who are part of the tribal population of Peru, share many ritual elements in common with Hindus, adding they have similar beliefs.
Forno has applied for doing research on Adi Sankara at the Sri Chandrasekharendra Saraswathi Viswa Mahavidyalaya (CSVMV) in nearby Enathur. Mr. Forno was here in Kancheepuram to visit the famous Kamakshi Amman temple on Sunday, and is no stranger to Hinduism. He said he had been drawn to Adi Sankara for over 42 years.
