Being of a more liberal family, I was taught and allowed to learn the religious conviction of the entire world. When I turned around and looked into my own back yard, Bowing to an idol made by my own hands gave me more than just food on the plate, it gave me the pride to know that I am a Hindu, with all powers of the universe at my finger tips and as such I force my ego to succum to the true will of the Absolute residing from within me and thus I bow to a symbol of that purity which is unseen, unheard and yet felt all over the cosmos. Being a Hindu to me is, an escape from the dogmas and doctrines and living a life as i am truly ment to. I am a free being when I am a Hindu. I am a trapped being when I sequester the ultimate truth of the only faith: Sanatan Dharam.
