), or gone into long discourses on Hindu philosophy (as if you are a novice to Hinduism). I realize that collectively we failed and expressed views on things that you did not ask about. And for that, I apologize. But I would like to know - by borrowing relevant snippets from each post - did we help at all?
Pranam.
In a quick answer YES. OK first of all forgive the delay in answering I was away from home traveling and computer access was spotty at best. However I learned quite a bit from reading all of the postings. Going to a concert with a man??? humm... the thought never crossed my mind. In this culture two men going to something like that together may be perceived as being gay. I have no problems with gays and I in no way condemn them. However sitting at a jazz concert with another man would to me just feel uncomfortable. I'd rather go alone or stay home. Unless there were several of us then that makes a different statement.
I don't think you collectively failed me at all. I appreciate the time each person took to respond. I have attended events with women as friends and never thought about approaching them sexually. I have also studied the relationships between men and women in temple activities and see a difference in how the two cultures relate.
As this was years ago I have since married to a non religious person. I wish things could be different but that is clearly not my karma....
Thank you very much again. This list is wonderful and I have learned a lot from it.
In whatever way people surrender unto me, I reciprocate with them accordingly.
