New Hindu

[satay]

In so many ways, I am a "new hindu" since most of my adult life I turned atheist and stop believing in the supreme. Until about 2 and half years ago when I was awaken by the supreme himself with a loud bang! What was the need of my awakening only he knows but here I am 'awake' and back on the path to Godhead (I think!)

I am not a true Hindu, but I abosultely adore the ideology.

Welcome to this new forum, I hope you will browse all of the forums on this site.

I highly recommend Sarabhanga's informed posts, as well as Satay's. There are many others here on Hindu Dharma Forums who have much to offer, but these are two of my favourites.

I was not born a Hindu. Therefore, I am always learning. It is as much a way of life as it is a way of thinking and being.

I am fortunate to be married to a Hindu, who is still teaching me the Hindu way of life. It is not just yoga, but it is seeing God in every one and every living thing.

My husband's family is becoming more comfortable with being Hindu in Canada and are not as shy about showing it as they used to be. So we recently had an outdoor Holi/Phagwah celebration with all of the coloured powders, perfume, chowtal singing, dancing, noise and merriment. I haven't had so much fun in a long time, I felt like a little kid again!

I tell you this to let all the new Hindus know that the practice of Hinduism as a way of life is many-faceted. Hinduism is a rich tapestry woven with many coloured threads of diverse beauty and sometimes seeming oxymorons.((like "expressive silence") Its logic is not always linear, but can be circular, and sometimes even spherical.

The more I learn, the less I realize that I know.
