    Hello From Tasmania Australia

    Since I just joined this site and, since I hope to be here as a participant for a few years, I'll post "a bit of background" to give readers some idea of the person who posts at this site from time to time.

    Some readers may find that I say too much in the post below; if this is the case, it will help to give an overall balance in this section of the site where many people say little to nothing about themselves.-Ron Price, Australia

    2. SOME SOCIO-BIO-DATA TO 2013

    I have been married twice for a total of 46 years. My second wife is a Tasmanian, aged 67. We’ve had one child: age 36. I have two step-children: ages: 47 and 42, three step-grandchildren, ages 19, 17 and 3, as well as one grandchild age 2. All of the above applies in October 2013. I am 69, am a Canadian who moved to Australia in 1971 and have written several books--all available on the internet.

    I retired from full-time teaching in 1999, part-time teaching in 2003 and volunteer teaching/work in 2005 after 32 years in classrooms as a teacher and another 18 as a student. In addition, I have been a member of the Baha’i Faith for 53 years. Bio-data: 6ft, 235 lbs, eyes-brown/hair-grey, Caucasian.

    Namaste,

    Welcome to the forum.

    - "I have been a member of the Baha’i Faith for 53 years."

    As a long standing member of the Baha’i Faith, what do you expect to learn from/contribute to this Hindu forum?

    Pranam.

    Re: Hello From Tasmania Australia

    Belated thanks for your question. I hope, by the interchange of views, to understand Hinduism better and, in the process, enable others to understand the Baha'i Faith better. I hope, too, to get back here more often than once every 14 months.-Ron Price, Australia

    You are welcome to visit us and learn all you want about Hinduism, but I don't think we have much appetite to learn about your faith. As far as I know, this is a Hindu forum and not a forum for inter-religious discussions.

    Pranam.

    Vannakkam: Welcome to the forum, and hope you find it beneficial.

    But yes, Believer is right, proseltyzing is against our rules.
