Namaste,

I'm Vitani. I'm also horrible at introductions. But, I have had a growing interest in Hinduism for quite a while, and have started looking into Saivism. Hinduism is so vast and diverse!

I do hope that you don't mind that I am a westerner. I was not born a Hindu, unfortunately. But as I said, I would love to learn more about it.

I look forward to participating in this community.

Pranams,

Vitani.

Welcome to HDF, pleased to meet you!

East or West, now this really depends upon which side of the earth you stand; confounding, as the earth is a sphere! :)

Namaste and welcome Vitani. That impression you have of born hindus make me cringe . Hinduism is not confined to one geography or race/ ethnicity. If so there is no point to call this an eternal (sanatana) dharma.

Thank you for the welcomes. Charitra, I apologize if I offended you, I meant no harm in it. But yes, that is true, it is the Eternal Dharma.

Namaste Vitani,

Welcome to HDF! :) I'm sure you will really enjoy your time here. You'd be surprised how many western Hindus (myself included) and westerners wanting to learn more about Sanatana Dharma there are here. The long-time posters here are mostly a nice bunch and are usually very helpful if you have any questions. Looking forward to your posts.

Om namah Shivaya
