Re: Thanks for helping me leave Hinduism
Hi, it is unfortunate to read that you have a bad experience in your observance. I can't speak for the countries that you had named but for Singapore and Malaysia, the Hindus whether vegetarians or non vegetarians are well integrated with the other races and religions due to social cohesion, tolerance and bonding that had been practices for many years in the vibrant multicultural countries.
In Singapore all males at the age of 18, they have to serve the country via uniform groups such as police, army, navy, air force or civil defence for 2 years. There are Indians, malays, Chinese and Eurasians of all walks of religions and life coming together serving the country. In a closely knitted community, each practices tolerance whenever festivals, ceremonies occurs. During new years, you can see Indian families offering curries, food to their Chinese neighbors. Chinese families offering catered Halal food to their Muslim neighbors and so on.
To summarize, I have not encountered Hindus who are vegetarians or non vegetarians adopting an anti-social attitude.
I wish you all the best and soon in finding the spiritual path that you seek.
'Whenever a devotee wishes, with unwavering faith, to worship me in a particular form, I take that form.'
