Great quiz! Did not know about the idea behind the Rolling Stones logo was from Kali's tongue. Om is more recognisable than Aum, however both are correct and widely used.

14/15. I'm not Hindu personally, but I am Bangladeshi so I'm pretty happy to see I know quite a lot about the religion. Tough questions but very educational (like Aficionado, I found it interesting that the Rolling Stones logo is based off Kali's tongue). Nominated!
