Namaste,
My name is Marcus and I have joined so I can learn more about Hindu Dharma and find answers to the mountain of questions I have. I haven't formally joined Hinduism yet but I intend to.
As a "western Hindu" I am interested to find out about peoples attitudes to a white guy a) going to a mandir/temple b) taking a Hindu/Indian name c) potentially wishing to have an arranged marriage with a Hindu woman. d) doing these things at 35 years of age. I am interested in views about these from everyone (Indian and western).
I hope to make many friends here.
