What Is The Purpose Of Life (Episode Three, A Hindu and a Buddhist Walk Into a Marriage)

Last updated on: March 26, 2017 at 5:09 pm By Ambaa Choate

Brad and I are back! This time we’re talking about what the purpose of life is. And attempting to be a little shorter so we’ve got a video that’s closer to eight minutes than nineteen! Transcript Ambaa: So what do you think the purpose of life is? Brad: Oof Ambaa: To start with an easy one [laugh] Brad: Yeah, to start with an easy one. It’s kind-of a…a loaded question. I think it depends on your perspective, because last time... Read more

I Thought I Was An Introvert But I Was Wrong

Last updated on: December 14, 2017 at 11:47 am By Ambaa Choate

The classic way to test if you are an introvert or extrovert is whether being around other people drains you or energizes you. You can still enjoy seeing people but be drained from it. And even introverts have certain people that they are comfortable enough around that it doesn’t trigger the draining effect. I always assumed I was an introvert. Throughout my twenties I found that I was overwhelmed by large crowds and big parties. I hated going out to... Read more

Scripture Study: Bhagavad Gita, book three verses 34 – 35

Last updated on: March 23, 2017 at 8:34 am By Ambaa Choate

We are doing a scripture study together: reading along through some scriptures and discussing the passages. Here are all of the posts on the previous verses for the Gita: Bhagavad Gita Study From the Winthrop Sargeant translation of The Gita… 34. Passion and hatred are seated In the senses in relation to their objects. One should not come under the power of these two; They are indeed one’s enemies. 35.Better one’s own duty though deficient Than the duty of another well... Read more

Yet Another Opinion on CNN, Believers, and Reza Aslan

Last updated on: March 15, 2017 at 10:19 am By Ambaa Choate

I have been uncertain what to say about this situation. If you aren’t inundated with information about this like I am, CNN just came out with an episode of their show Believers in which Reza Aslan (an expert on Islam and Christianity) showcases various unusual beliefs around the world that featured a very unusual aspect of Hinduism. He visited Hindus called Aghori who practice some very strange things having to do with death including cannibalism. So of course this show... Read more

A Hindu & a Buddhist Walk Into a Marriage: What is Religion and Faith?

Last updated on: March 14, 2017 at 6:36 pm By Ambaa Choate

Have I taught Brad well or what? Look at him all fluent in The Mahabharata! Also it’s kind of hilarious how we try to “catch” each other. I think it’s a strength of our marriage that we can have fun with that and not get defensive. Transcript [Intro] Ambaa: So you said something really interesting the other day about defining religion by something–by it having both sacred and profane definitions within it? And that that’s like why a political party... Read more

Roll Call

Last updated on: March 14, 2017 at 9:25 am By Ambaa Choate

Priyanka, a friend from the Facebook page, said that she would like to connect with American Hindus and non-Indian Hindus. I thought for a few minutes about how I might help with that and I decided that I should do a post asking people to introduce themselves. So this is that post! Whether you are an Indian Hindu in India, an Indian Hindu in America, a non-Indian Hindu in India, a non-Indian Hindu in America or anything in between, please... Read more

The One and Only American Hindu

Last updated on: March 7, 2017 at 10:03 pm By Ambaa Choate

To help me get inspiration and keep up with what’s happening in my world I have some Google alerts set up. One is for the term “American Hindu.” Over the years that I’ve had this alert, nearly all the time it comes up the phrase “American Hindu” is referring to one particular person. This man seems to have a statement for the press about any and everything that happens related to Hinduism in America. I’ve found it pretty funny to... Read more

Roundup: Videos of non-Indian Hindus (Hindu Converts)

Last updated on: March 9, 2017 at 11:14 pm By Ambaa Choate

I’ve started to stumble upon people doing videos about their journey to Hinduism! So pleased to find that. So I thought I’d gather all the ones I could find. Sharing them is not endorsement. I don’t always agree with everything these Hindu converts said but I am heartened to see so many finding the joy and satisfaction in Hinduism like I have. First off, here is mine! None of the other people in these videos is in the same tradition... Read more
