Hello everbody,

I've said elswhere here that I'm a Roman Catholic who believes in Hinduism (I know that sounds strange, it makes more sense in my head). I thought that I'd write out what attracts me to Hinduism in addition to why I think it is true. My hope is that some others could do the same, so I could see how others expierence Hinduism.

So, for me.

1. A personal and close feeling relationship with Lakshmi and Ganesha.
2. That I can have a colourful alter where I worship murti. The physicality of it makes it feel like "this is what worship should be like."
3. I think reincarnation is just and good way to deal with good and bad deeds, plus God will liberate you when you are ready.
4. God is loving, and I don't need to fear Lakshmi and Ganesha. That always got in the way of my religious life with the Trinity. (not trying to start a religious debate, just saying where I'm coming from.)
4. Art. The art is great. The temples, paintings and statues among other things.
5. The four Ashrams of life help me gage where I should be going and where I am.
6. A clear emphasis on Bhakti. God is sweeter than sugar.
7. And to be honest, I also ask Lakshmi and Ganesha for help in life (health, friends and yes: money) and they have been there for me. So, it feels like they care.

That's me. What about you?
Thank you for your time,
Yep.
