[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Hinduism an organized religion? If so, what is the structure? What "denomination" do you belong to? Are you American or Indian? [/quote] Hinduism is not really an organized religion. In Sanskrit, the name is Sanatana Dharma or eternal truth. It's more of a way of life rather than dogmatic practices. For every belief, there's a sense of adapt if you wish. There are 2 basic truths, dharma and karma. Dharma being your duty/responsibility/truth. Karma being your actions and the result of your actions. There are "denominations". Kind of. Different schools of philosophy really - but those distinctions aren't as critical to the masses. I'm an American born of Indian deccent woman. Interestingly, Hindus don't aim to convert others. Ultimately, since your birth in this life is reliant on your previous lives, you can only really be born a Hindu. [/quote]
