Physical disability
Namaste,
I've been practicing & considering myself as a Hindu for quite awhile now, still love it to depths, yet... only now I'm actually wondering -
What is Hindu AND Indian view on physically disabled people?
Now I've been disabled since birth (yet it's light disability even though it's my whole left side...), but I've never really had "disabled identity" to worry about something so small. Also Hindu beliefs in karma & reincarnation makes it logical to me, yet I don't think that just because i'm disabled, i'm less than a person...
Yet... I don't know... I am not sure I should even ever try to go to India (I'd love to go to Chennai), probably my interest in Tamil Nadu made me question myself: "But wait, as a woman I might be accepted, but what if I'm disabled?"
Aum Namah Shivaya,
- Alise/Alisha
Siva Yogaswami used to say, "It takes courage to be happy all the time."
