America’s red-headed sweet heart has been seduced by the spiritual lures of India. Julia Roberts told Elle that she is “definitely a practicing Hindi” after her time in India filming the upcoming Eat, Pray, Love. USA Today followed up on the cover interview with a story Sunday.

According to
a 2009 Associated Press story relying on The Times of India
newspaper, Roberts’ children have been given Hindu names. It quoted a Hindu priest, Swami Dharam Dev, as saying:

“I
have named her twins Hazel and Phinnaeus as Laxmi and Ganesh, while
Henry will be called Krishna Balram.”

No word yet on whether or not Roberts’ practices yoga, since of
course being Hindu does not require it. USA Today was also quick to distinguish the difference between practicing yoga and practicing Hindism, but couldn’t resist posting an image of Sarah Palin in Tree Pose as an argument for the “poses don’t have to be spiritual” side. (We couldn’t resist either.)
