Hello everyone. This is my first post.
Namaste,
So I recently became a Hindu and it has been such a profound experience in my life. I cannot begin to explain the joy and wonder that Hinduism has bestowed on me.
Recently I started considering going to a Hindu temple. The closest one is 60 miles away so it will be quite a trek to get there but I am eager to visit it regardless. Yet, I do have some concerns. Firstly being a white woman who was obviously not born into Hinduism I worry about making a huge mistake or being embarrassed. I have happened to meet a handful of local Hindus and they are very accepting and all have encouraged me to visit this same temple.
Just to calm my nerves I'd appreciate whatever input anyone could give me about their experience or tips for me so that I don't make some incredible blunder.
Thank you.
God be with you.
