Beliefnet, Protest, and Travel Fever

 Warning: Identical post to today's Sadhana Day by Day!

I haven't posted for a long time.
I do have a new post in mind; a continuation of the last one.
In a few days I'll get down to it, but in the meantime, you can read a gallery feature I wrote for Beliefnet:
The Russian Doll of Hinduism in Ten Sanskrit Terms 

And while you're on the Beliefnet website, please read the following article entitled

Microsoft's Encarta: Biased Against Hinduism? A point-by-point examination of the popular encyclopedia's treatment of Hindu beliefs.

It's excellent, and echoes a syndrome I've long been aware of: the denigrating way Hinduism is often portayed in the West. I did try to correct some of that portrayal in my own Russian Doll article, simply by showing "the other side" of Hinduism; but the Beliefnet article above takes the bull by the horns and address the subject point by point. I've commented on the article on its page, so do take a look.

And by the way:



I'm also very busy preparing for my visit to Guyana next week, and have started a blog which will function as a journal while I'm there.
I think what you read there has quite a lot to do with Sadhana Day by Day.

Here's the blog:
