I was born Jewish, but I find that my beliefs most fit Hinduism. Yet I've heard many debates on whether a non-Indian/Hindu blooded man or woman can truly convert to Hinduism.

What is the stance here?

Thanks,

Hello Dear,

Anyone from any color can become a hindu.

I met people who are white and practise hinduism.

bye,
Sunita

Hi again. I couldn't access the link you gave me. I'm not sure why.

Also, do I have to take up an entirely vegetarian diet? If so, how do I do this safely?

hi dear,

http://aryasamaj101.googlepages.com/home2

Practise of Non-voilence can be from every aspect in life....example when you communicate with others. Some hindus eat meat, u dont have to go 100% pure vege.....but cut down gradually.

i hope this helps.

Hi Dear,

There is a discussion already about samagree, check it out.

You will find more info at

Clarified butter Also called drawn butter or ghee. Simply defined, clarified butter is unsalted butter that has the milk solids and water removed so all that remains is pure liquid golden-yellow butterfat. The advantages of this type of butter is its long keeping quality (several months refrigerated) and its high smoke point (can be used in frying without burning). To clarify butter, melt unsalted butter in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Skim off the froth from the top and carefully pour the clear liquid into a jar, leave the milky residue behind. Clarified butter is used in sautés, sauces and in baked dishes. sources http://www.webexhibits.org/butter/glossary-c.html

All the best on your new journey!

Take care,
Sunita
