iva Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hello, Have you ever been in the situation that even you consider yourself as a Hindu u were not allowed to participate in certain rituals or visit some temples in India because u are not Indian origin? How did you feel about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onkara Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hello Iva Yes, this is an issue, but it seems to be one we may make for ourselves through doubting. So the best remedy perhaps is to tackle the doubt we have oursevles. We cannot necessarily convince others (due to our skin, hair colour, language etc), but by removing our own fears and doubts we can free up our mind to concentrate and learn how to be "good Hindus", how to understand scripture, have respect for people and the world around us. We can also have an open mind to learning how to behave respectfully in temples or when visiting Hindu homes, for example. The point is that whilst we hold some baggage or concerns, we may feel clumsy and not feel at peace with Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism). So the more we can address our concerns and leave our baggage the more we will act with consideration and due care. Respectfully, Onkara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Respectfully, Onkara I totally agree. rather than feeling let down one should concentrate on self spiritual enlightenment because hinduism is not about visiting temples only but also about spiritual growth.

rohit007 Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Iva, some temples follow that, it is not good, Hinduism is for everyone and we dont differentiate between foreigners and Indians.It is very sad some temples follow that.Wish they were open.They are not doing the right thing and we should raise our voice.
