Pope In India: Pontiff Hailed on Historic Visit
The teeming millions of India flock to Bombay to greet the "burra guru" - the great, Holy Man - as Pope Paul VI arrives for the international Eucharistic Congress. No other Pope has ever visited this area of the world, and no other Pope has ever made a trip of such length. He is greeted by Prime Minister Shastri and other high dignitaries and he donates $50,000 to India's poor before presiding at the elevation of six Bishops. His return to Rome is equally a triumph.
