Vannakkam all: I wonder what other people's experiences are when trying to explain Hinduism to non - Hindus. what are the most commonly held wrong ideas about out faith? Maybe there is insight to be had for all of us for those days when we're answering.
For me it's this one: Hinduism is just another religion (read Abrahamic) and can be understood easily by reading a few paragraphs from Wiki.
My pet peeve is when others see it that way, lumped in with Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, and all those other religions. So if we're religious, we're only religious in the sense of being religious in the Abrahamic way.
I'm looking forward to our Indian responses ... what do the tourists (visiting the Taj Mahal with a camera) think?
