Yoo Hoo! **waves vigorously**
Namaste kind folks. My real name is Hema (username - Shakti). Akshar told me about this forum so I just HAD to come and snoop around. I live in Trinidad which is in the Caribbean. I am of East Indian descent. In the days of colonialism, my ancestors were brought from India as Indentured Labourers to work on the sugar cane plantations. There are many Indians in Trinidad and many Hindus.
I believe in the concept of God being both formless and formed. God is formless because he/she is Spirit but also formed because all of creation is part of God. I mainly worship God as a Spirit form but I have a special place in my heart for Hanumanji, he is like my big brother. I am also vegetarian...I believe in Ahimsa but at the same time, I believe that as Hindus we must defend Dharma and we must stand up when we have to. (I know Akshar is passionate about this topic). I believe in the saying, "Protect Dharma and Dharma will protect you."
I look forward to corresponding with you guys soon. I actually registered a few weeks ago but I was away for a short while so I'm now getting around to introducing myself.
Have a great day and remember to smile alot!
