Can anyone tell me what the process is for conversion to Hinduism?

Dear Jonathan ~ I wanted to answer this question again, in a more

personal way. You got so many wonderful answers from members of the

group. For me, becoming Hindu is a matter of attraction. Something

attracts us to this path. What is it? It is different for each

person.

 

For me, I was looking to find an alternative to the sin/guilt/hell

etc. of Catholicism. The first answer I received was a book, "The

Wisdom of China and India," which had many excerpts from vedic texts.

These immediately resonated within my being, showed me that in India

the spiritual premis is that we are all born good. Yes there is a

fall into maya, into the arms of Durga, who also provides the way

out. The Catholic premis is we are born bad, fallen, full of sin and

then must overcome it (this is the basic Christian premise too, so

far as I have been able to tell, having been Episcopalian by baptism,

Methodist by being taken to church by my father, and Catholic by my

mother wanting to convert and taking all of us family along with her

en masse). Then I was led to another book and my first guru

Paramahansa Yogananda. Then I was led to learn Transcendental

Meditation. Then I was led to see Amma, Karunamay, and Swami and

Shree Maa ~ all by the law of attraction. We do get what we wish for.

 

Jaya jaya all gurus and means of answering our attraction
