You hit the nail on the head when you said Hindus (brown) want to help non-Hindu looking visitor/devotees to their Temples, but don't know how to, because Hinduism has never been a proselytizing religion hence they don't show the same zeal/enthusiasm (or a reaching out attitude) as a Christian who is eager to convert non-Christians into their fold. Secondly, most brown Hindus you find at temples have grown up in India's secularized/leftist milieu and are very much uprooted from the real essence of their religion and go there just coz of tradition. Hence they will often not be able to answer any questions a curious non-Hindu might have.

Love this topic, I have had a lot of friends want to go to temple and think it's lovely and beautiful, but would never go without me lol It's so scary for a lot of people to take in and handle how different everything is and no one wants to offend or make any mistakes.

💙 Namaste First memory I have of going to the Temple was watching the flowers ceremony of stringing them together. The flowers bundled together reminded me of our own diverse communities. 💕 Ohm Haribol Hari Hari Shivaya Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. -Murdi Ramshanti (Aka Rabbi Mort)

Hare krishna🙏

I too am a "white Hindu" and will be visiting the local temple for the first time this coming weekend. I hope the community is accepting of newcomers, I hope I don't experience the discrimination that one of the commenters on here has experienced. It would be be sad to see anyone with genuine faith turned away when Islam or Christianity would be all to happy to have converts.

I am so thankful you shared this! I have been having this same issue! I really really want to go but am tentative because I don’t know what to wear or what to do

Thanks for the tips. I think with some time everything will workout

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT BEING A HINDU? By Francois Gautier. Diversity in Divinity and Unity in Spirituality. 1) Believe in God ! - Aastik - Accepted 2) Don't believe in God ! - You're accepted as Nastik 3) You want to worship idols - please go ahead. You are a murti pujak. 4) You dont want to worship idols - no problem. You can focus on Nirguna Brahman. 5) You want to criticise something in our religion. Come forward. We are logical. Nyaya, Tarka etc. are core Hindu schools. 6) You want to accept beliefs as it is. Most welcome. Please go ahead with it. 7) You want to start your journey by reading Bhagvad Gita - Sure ! 8) You want to start your journey by reading Upanishads - Go ahead. 9) You want to start your journey by reading Purana - Be my guest. 10) You just don't like reading Puranas or other books. No problem my dear. Go by Bhakti tradition . ( bhakti- devotion) 11) You don't like idea of Bhakti ! No problem. Do your Karma. Be a karmayogi. 12) You want to enjoy life. Very good. No problem at all. This is Charvaka Philosophy. 13) You want to abstain from all the enjoyment of life & find God - jai ho ! Be a Sadhu, an ascetic ! 14) You don't like the concept of God. You believe in Nature only - Welcome. (Trees are our friends and Prakriti or nature is worthy of worship). 15) You believe in one God or Supreme Energy. Superb! Follow Advaita philosophy 16) You want a Guru. Go ahead. Receive gyaan. 17) You don't want a Guru.. Help yourself ! Meditate, Study ! 18) You believe in Female energy ! Shakti is worshipped. 19) You believe that every human being is equal. Yeah! You're awesome, come on let's celebrate Hinduism! "Vasudhaiva kutumbakam" (the world is a family) 20) You don't have time to celebrate the festival. Don't worry. One more festival is coming! There are multiple festivals every single day of the year. 21) You are a working person. Don't have time for religion. Its okay. You will still be a Hindu. 22) You like to go to temples. Devotion is loved. 23) You don't like to go to temples - no problem. You are still a Hindu! 24) You know that Hinduism ☺ is a way of life, with considerable freedom. 25) You believe that everything has God in it. So you worship your mother, father, guru, tree, River, Prani-matra, Earth, Universe! 26) And If you don't believe that everything has GOD in it - No problems. Respect your viewpoint. 27) "Sarve jana sukhino bhavantu " (May you all live happily) You represent this! You're free to choose, my dear Hindu! This is exactly the essence of Hinduism, all inclusive .. That is why it has withstood the test of time inspite of repeated onslaught both from within and outside, and assimilated every good aspects from everything . That is why it is eternal !!! There is a saying in Rigveda , the first book ever known to mankind which depicts the Hinduism philosophy in a Nutshell -" Ano bhadrah Krathavo Yanthu Vishwathah"- Let the knowledge come to us from every direction.

Hari bol🙏

Jai shree Ram

My daughter and I are exploring Hinduism in MD! We are so excited to go for the first time.

Mam big fan of urs india🇮🇳 love urs dedication.

Namaste Ji I recently went to the mandir in London and I didn't went in because of an infection on my foot that gives off pus with a bad smell. I can't go and retrieve my shrine in my parents house as my parents disowned me from being a Hindu which is a blessing in itself so I feel like that I'm starting over again.

There are only a handful of Hindu temples which Restrict entry of non Hindu's, due to some religious resons, but mostly all Hindu temples are open for all, without any prejudice or discrimination, infact hindu religion is the only religion in the world which does not propogate to convert people, as they believe all religions and paths lead to the one god.

Mam , make ur day to day life vlogs 💖.. we really want to see how u spent ur day..

Have you ever been to Ajanta and Ellora? These 2 sites are absolutely magical. I know that Ajanta is technically Buddhist but it's still a fantastic spiritual place to visit. Oh and btw, your volume is still too soft.

I really should suck it up and just go to the local temple

Namaste Ambaa, I really enjoy your youtube and tiktok thank you for the content. I am going ask you some questions because I don't know where else to turn. I have considered myself a Hindu for about a year now and recently got the courage to go to the local temple. Everyone seemed ok with me being there, but no one seemed to be able or willing to teach me what to do. So what the hell do I do? The temple does not seem to offer adult classes, orientation, or anything. Is it the priest/pandits job to teach? I want to get it right, I am trying to be respectful, but I feel like a leper. No one seems to want to engage me. I would love to hear your take, or any advice you can give me.

I m sorry for being so late, actually I was busy

I personally want to visit my local Hindu temple. My math teacher has suggested that I do so and she is a fellow Hindu and from India, I am literally processing the exact same thoughts as you stated at the beginning of your video. I just don't know how to break them

This video really helped me go to temple for the 1st time today! Unfortunately I think I scared them. I'm a really big white guy with lots of tattoos. The 2 Pandits told me they weren't open despite the door being open and their website saying they were open. They ushered me out with a phone in hand, scanned the parking lot looking very fearful. Fortunately there's 2 other temples for me to visit.
