[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Are you a practicing Hindu or were you just raised that way and you don't know anything about your religion?

Do you understand what is going on during religious ceremonies?  Do you know the purpose and story behind religious ceremonies and holidays?[/quote]

I am a practicing Hindu. I was born into a very religious family and it helped solidify my faith. I was so intrigued by my faith that I studied it in college and have a bachelors degree in religion. I have a dedicated temple room in my house and do a pooja (daily prayer  ritual) everyday.

Generally I can follow the ceremonies. Though most are done in Sanskrit and I don't fully understand Sanskrit. If the pravachan or spiritual talk is in Hindi, I can understand that as I'm fluent in Hindi. I probably follow the ceremonies a bit better than most people in my generation (American born) due to my studies, my readings and own practices.

There are a lot of Hindu holidays, varying by region, so while I don't know all of them, I do understand the significance of most. [/quote]
