How to Convert to Hinduism

After musing over the beliefs and the concepts the religion offers, how do you feel? Where has it landed you? Do you feel prepared? Do you feel unsure? Do you feel nervous? Are you overwhelmed? Answer these questions for yourself. If you happen to get stuck, take a break, go out have a walk, meet friends.

Just cut out from the "Religion" stuff for some time. Then come back again. If you keep getting the answer that, you're unsure after a substantial amount of time and reckoning, Hinduism may not be for you. You may want to give up the thought. Before converting, always remember that your feelings have to be in alignment with your decision. Don't force it for any sort of superficial validation or gratification.

However, if you are sure and have been feeling great about the new establishment in your life, go for it. Now is the time that you can actually practice it with fellow Hindus. Next, you may go ahead and severe the ties with your former religion in the way it is supposed to be done. Further, you may go forward with receiving a Hindu name by attending the name-giving ritual. A priest will do the ceremonial acts in a temple devoted to a God you wish to follow.

Finally, you will come to become a Hindu. Start meeting other Hindus in the temple, praying to the chosen God, and gaining pure joy from it all. Your soul will then gain the ...

Shani

Shani (Sanskrit ?ani ???) is one of the Navagraha which are the nine primary celestial beings in Hindu astrology, or Jyoti?a. Shani is embodied in the planet Saturn. Shani is the Lord of Saturday; the word Shani also denotes the seventh day or Saturday in most Indian languages.

The origin of word Shani(???) comes from the following: Shanaye Kramati Sa: (???? ?????? ??) i.e. the one who moves slowly, as Saturn takes about 30 years to revolve around the Sun. Shani is also known as Shanaiscarya (???????) Shani Bhagavan, Shaneesvara, Saneesvara, Shaneesvaran, Shani Deva.

Shani is a Deva and son of Surya (the Hindu Sun God) and his wife Chhaya (Shadow goddess) and hence also known as Chayyaputra. He is the cousin of Yama, the Hindu God of justice. It is said that when he opened his eyes as a baby for the very first time, the sun went into an eclipse, which clearly denotes the impact of Shani on astrological charts. He is known as the greatest teacher. Shani dev is said to be very harmful to those who follow the path of betrayal, backstabbing and unjust revenge. He is known in Hindu scriptures as the greatest trouble giver as well as the greatest well wisher. He is depicted dark in colour, clothed in black; holding a sword, arrows and two daggers and variously mounted on a black crow.[1]

It is not the forces of darkness but of shallowness that everywhere threaten the true, and the good, and the beautiful, and that ironically announce themselves as deep and profound. It is an exuberant and fearless shallowness that everywhere is the modern danger, the modern threat, and that everywhere nonetheless calls to us as savior." From: Sex, Ecology,Spirituality

• "Raindrops are beating, a large puddle is forming, there on the balcony. It all floats in Emptiness, in purest Transparency, with no one here to watch it. If there is an I, it is all that is arising, right now and right now and right now. My lungs are the sky; those mountains are my teeth; the clouds are my skin; the thunder is my heart beating time to the timeless; the rain itself, the tears of our collective estate, here where nothing is really happening." From: One Taste

• "Human beings have a variety of intelligences, such as cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence, musical intelligence, kinesthetic intelligence, and so on. Most people excel in one or two of those, but do poorly in the others. This is not necessarily or even usually a bad thing; part of Integral ...
