Myra Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Hello Everyone, Hope you are all having a nice day. I have been researching and studying about the delicate culture and spirituality of India lately. I am about (God willing) to visit/stay for a while in India next year to study and experience the beauty and uniqueness of your country. In lieu with this, I would really appreciate if any of you could advice me to the Do's and Dont's in India. I am also attracted to the Hare Krishna community. I want to learn more about it. If you reply, please expect that I will do a perusal and may render questions later. Thanks so much in advance! God Bless Everyone. Hari Bol! Respectfully yours, Myra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinash Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 There are some families in India (including mine) where footwears are not brought inside any room of the house. This is not the case with all families. But you do not know in advance who would find bringing footwears inside as just fine and who would find it against their code of conduct. But even if you go to houses where the residents do not have any objection in bringing footwears inside, there also if you keep footwears outside, they will not feel bad. In fact, they will be quite happy. So, when in doubt, it is always better to keep footwears outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myra Posted September 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Thank you Avinash. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I was watching "The amazing Race" in Cable TV and it happened that the participants were bound to India. One of the Teams were composed of a Mom and a Daughter and they find it difficult to get a ticket from a Train station. Is a woman(especially single) traveller not encouraged in India? Thanks in advance! Kind regards, Myra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myra Posted September 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Apologies Everyone, I know that I am not suppose to be in this room, for this is a spiritual Discussion and I am out of topic. Just, I think this is the best way to get your attention. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I might inquire some spiritual insights later. Hope to hear from Theist and to others who had a catholic background. Hare Krishna! Myra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avinash Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 I think the Travelogue forum will be more appropriate for this discussion. So, how about moving this thread to there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avinash Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Is a woman(especially single) traveller not encouraged in India? There is no generic answer to this. It depends on what the situation is. Often women are told not to travel alone for their protection. But, things are definitely not as bad as is often thought by those who have never been to India. Everyday, I see many women travelling alone. But since you will be quite new to India, it will be safe for you if you are with people whom you can trust.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2003 Report Share Posted September 14, 2003 Where ever you go in India, there are people. however, it is wise to avoid going alone in various remote and deserted places. If you are going to travel at night, please travel with a buddy in India, it is not safe to travel alone. It is wise to take a male buddy from U.S.A. to India with you.
