I don't consider myself a hindu yet though I am very attracted to it.

I'm not sure I'm not alone in wanting to know how you were awoken by the Supreme! Please tell us your awakening story, if you don't mind others knowing ...I find these sorts of accounts the most inspiring of all.

let's just say that Bhagwan will not interfere with our karma but Shiva is called Bholenath for a reason...

This universe is a dance...when the dancer is dancing the dance exist when he stops the dance disappears...

Who is this dancer?

I realized the Christian church did not bring me closer to God. So I did some research into other religions, came across Hinduism, studied it, and fell in love with it. After my conversion I had a dream of Vishnu's serpent, Shesha. It was a very inspiring experience.

I am not a true Hindu because if I was, I wouldn't have materialised on this Earth in such a violent and materialistic world. I also don't have respect for all life, since I eat meat, and I am not completely devoted to God. I have many materialistic desires, maybe I'll grow out of this phase and become enlightened, but up until then me claiming to be a Dharma followers is quite hypocritical.

rev, i think following dharma and calling yourself one , you are on your way to become what you say above. living as a samsari i dont think you can lead a quite unmaterialistic life.

It's pretty difficult to get away from materialistic things in this day and age. Wonder what would happen if civilization got destroyed and we all had to go back to the good ol' days
