Namaste All, Am wondering if any westerners happened to become Hindu or, if you prefer, embrace the path of Sanata Dharma, via way of so called New Age religion? I may have stayed with that I not recognized it for what I perceive that it is, Hinduism without the deities. Supposedly it was initially to introduce Hinduism to the west, but upon close scrutiny, Jesus is simply thrown in to make it easier for westerners to assimilate. Once you get past the basic intro, I have ever yet to hear him refereed to in a talk. They are however very helpful in teaching some of the finer theological points of Hinduism. I use them as a resource, after all Paramahansa Yogananda was from India and a Hindu. His appeal I think was mainly to the wealthy IMHO. He did also do some excellent explanations and “decoding” of the Bible which I found very helpful.
AUM
