    Fearing losing my Hinduism

    You mentioned you are learning govindam adi purusham on the guitar. Now I know this might be too iskcon-like, but you could play a recording of govindam adi purusham and just stand and look at your deities, what they call a "deity greeting". You can do that with kids too, since it's a nice and...

    Where to meet other people interested in Hinduism?

    @Sirona Thank you for your reply!! Sorry about only answering now. I have looked at Narayana Maharaja's site before but I just don't really feel a personal connection to him. With Vishwananda of Bhakti Marga, I am very cautious of him. I never really liked him ever since I saw him, had a bad...

    Where to meet other people interested in Hinduism?

    I know this seems a bit silly as most people would say "... uhh at the temple? duh??" but it is not so easy for me, or maybe I am making this too difficult (probably the latter). In my city we have one iskcon temple and a hindu minority. A "regular" hindu temple with various deities is located...

    Happy Govardhan Puja!

    Today is the day I have been looking forward to for a couple of weeks. Govardhan puja I have prepared two new dishes for this special occasion and they came out well :) (aloo jeery aka potatoes fried in spices, and 'simply wonderfuls' an iskcon sweet milk ball). Usually I don't cook much these...

    Is it ok to just love physical aspects of bhakti without the jnana aspect?

    Very well put! Is Advaita what iskcon calls "impersonalism"? I am not so familiar with the hindu terminology.. @Sirona

    Is it ok to just love physical aspects of bhakti without the jnana aspect?

    Hello everyone!:) So basically what the title says. I used to be into philosophy as a teen, but now in my late twenties I rather find joy in just practicing a few things that I learned in iskcon mixed with my own interests, such as offering incense, bathing deities, sewing outfits, making...

    I guess my approach is different.

    That I know :D @Vinayaka You are right..

    I guess my approach is different.

    Not yet.. I have only been in iskcon temples so far (the last time I was in one was quite a few years ago though). So now I want to "branch out" and visit a hindu temple in a city nearby. And eventually the one in Hamm too. It looks very big though, I am not sure I would understand anything if I...
