Hindu
Dharma came to me over a long period of time, in many forms, through
many people, as well as through a deeper consciousness. From leaving
the Catholic Church to officially becoming a Hindu took a
number years. It was never a question of leaving one religion
and looking for another one better, but of a quest for truth
at a spiritual level. This at first made all outer religious
formalities irrelevant but later showed me the importance of
culture and community in sustaining one’s spiritual path.
Disturbed by media or textbook images of Hinduism
or bewildered by its multifaceted nature, people ask me: "Can
one access the deeper teachings of Hinduism, like Yoga and
Vedanta, without having to go through the outer aspects of the
religion as caste, ritual or temple worship? Does one need to
formally become a Hindu to benefit from its spiritual
teachings?"
