green Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 I have recently returned froma trip to India, it had always been my intention to go as my best friend at school was indian ( I am english) and also a Hindu, and he had tols me wonderful things about india. I was brought up a Christian by tradition rather than any deep seated religious veiws from my family, I have always been aware of my own need to formalise or even felt spritually understood. I have read and breifed my self with many world religious concepts, beliefs and veiws. I am a hindu, i know this because my heart and soul identify completely and utterly with the words i read and thing i see, hear and smell. I is me. However I live on the south coast of England and can find no resourses to help me with my need to question, worship and discuss. In basic terms where do I start?? many thank yous, Natalie.

Govindaram Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Hare Krishna You have already started with the question.. "who am I?" I personally started by reading the Bhagavad Gita. You can read Here If you find it a big read and are lazy like me /images/graemlins/mad.gif then just skip to Chapter 2 and start reading, you will be inspired and please read the purports. Others may help you on this forum as well...Haribol! /images/graemlins/smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Haribol Natalie, Who am I? What am I? Why am I? For answers to these questions I suggest you go through this introduction to Vaisnava Philosphophy: http://www.iskcon.org/main/twohk/philo/roots.htm I highly highly recommend you read through all of the sections to get a grasp of some of the basic terms and concepts before moving onto Bhagavad-gita As It Is: http://asitis.com.
