Hi James and Linda,
Again, Hinduism does not practise conversion as u call it. Hinduism is long existing religion. Only
religions that have come of late like christianity and Islam practice conversion as they need more into
the group. Hinduism will accept any practice of religion and whatever form or tradition into its arms as
Hinduism itself was created as a result of combination of all existing religious practice before it.
With regards to circumcision, that is an Islamic and Jewish must and has nothing to with religion what
so ever. Hinduism being a religion of compassion and love does support the destruction of any living
thing. As such, circumcision has no place in Hinduism. Actually u do it more for health (not proven to
false) reasons rather than religion.
So please do not worry, believe in the way to God and u will automatically be a Hindu yourselves.
U can email me if u need any other info.
OM Sivaya Nama OM.
