Like others, I also welcome you into the Hindu Fraternity. Let me tell u my findings :- " Hinduism is a Religion of Third Generation". To elaborate, In India any new change is opposed by the first genaration, the second generation accepts the change with a guilt feeling - a guilt of betrayal done against the first genaration. But by the time the third generation takes charge, the change is accepted in society like all other possible options. That's how Sutti System came into society and again was obliterated, Widow remarriage became normal, Girls education, Valentine's day, all these were integrated into the civilization called Hinduism. Now , u r a part of this great system, and enriching it in your own way. Agreed , because of the third generation concept here changes are slow, but then they are definite, the changes come through evolution, and not by revolution. That's how this culture stood for thousands of years yet assimilated all races of mankind into it. You are adding a value to the process of evolution. Surely your Children will be proud of you but your grandchildren will not understand what was the fuss about !!
