I was not offended that you had mixed feelings but that you immediately had to put a negative spin on a very nice event at my ashram.
And that you immediate assume that what this nice family is doing will lead to nothing. No wonder there is no peace in the world if something like this can have...

We had a family at my ashram recently, the mom was Christian, the father Muslim and they practice yoga and read the Gita.
They said that they read the Koran, the Bible and the Gita.
They and their kids participated in all the Shivaratri prayers and our regular homa ceremonies.

This is why I´m inspired by Waldorf pedagogy. Children have an amazing imagination and anything can become anything. It is very important to encourage that and not limit it.
Your son is lucky to have had that.

HAF is amazing. I feel proud to have an American Hindu group behind me who is a strong open minded group who stands up for dharma no matter what.
It takes guts to do this and criticize India's stance.
