Panel on Non-Indian Hindus

Last updated on: March 20, 2018 at 8:23 am By Ambaa Choate

I have been invited by the Hindu American Foundation to participate in a panel about non-Indian Hindus! I’m so thrilled. It will be at the big temple in our area where they do many interesting events (it’s where I went to a talk by Rajiv Malhotra). It will be at the end of April. I am really looking forward to meeting other non-Indian Hindus in my area. I’ve never met any, but there must be some if they are getting... Read more

A Hindu President in 2020

Last updated on: March 13, 2018 at 2:25 pm By Ambaa Choate

Did you guys know that we have a potential Presidential candidate in the U.S. who is a Hindu? She is the only Hindu in Congress. Her name is Tulsi Gabbard and she is a representative from Hawaii. ` I personally don’t really care what religion (or non religion) a President is. It’s how they behave and the ethics they have personally that matter. Sometimes religion informs that and sometimes it doesn’t. You can meet plenty of people in any religion... Read more

Our Second Baby

Last updated on: March 8, 2018 at 5:24 pm By Ambaa Choate

We are finally half way through the pregnancy and that means…it was time to find out the sex! In some ways I feel silly caring so much about this, considering that knowing someone’s sex doesn’t really tell you anything about them. Boys can be into “girl” things and vice versa and I’m all for that. Individuals should do what makes them happy and follow their heart regardless of traditional norms. Nonetheless, I really wanted one of each: a boy and... Read more

Hindus in The Sims 4

Last updated on: February 23, 2018 at 8:24 am By Ambaa Choate

The Sims is a video game that has seen me through some tough times in my life. I tend to get the urge to play it when I need some escapism. Not ideal, but I find that I am not spiritually ready to be 100% awake and aware at all times! After I got out of an emotionally abusive relationship and lived with my parents for a few months there were weeks where I did nothing but eat, sleep, and... Read more

Invisible Hindus In America

Last updated on: February 10, 2018 at 3:38 pm By Ambaa Choate

Toyota had a superbowl commercial meant to focus on interfaith goodwill, saying we are all on one team. Who did they show? Jews, Christians, Muslims, and…Buddhists. When asked why Hindus were left out, this is what they had to say: https://www.hafsite.org/toyota-responds-hindu-american-concerns-about-super-bowl-ad Their excuse is that they can’t represent everyone. Okay, so they leave out the third largest religion in the world but do include all three Abrahamic faiths? That’s pretty weak, Toyota. Look, I get it. We are trying to combat... Read more

Mahashivratri on the 13th

Last updated on: February 5, 2018 at 4:24 pm By Ambaa Choate

Mahashivratri is this coming Tuesday! I will probably not be doing a whole lot for it. No way will I be able to stay up all night or fast! But that’s pregnancy for you. I will definitely be playing plenty of Shiva bhajans, though.

Science and Hinduism Do Not Require Faith

Last updated on: February 3, 2018 at 4:23 pm By Ambaa Choate

The Friendly Atheist reposted something they had written about the conversation between atheist Ricky Gervais and Catholic Stephen Colbert. It was my first time seeing it and it really struck a chord for me. In particular I’ve always struggled with how to explain that science is not a form of faith to people who say, “Oh atheists have just traded faith in God for faith in science.” Ricky Gervais explains it exactly: “And then, when told that his belief in...

My New Baby Krishna

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 5:19 pm By Ambaa Choate

Check out my latest craft project! For a few years now I have been occasionally making ultra realistic baby dolls known as reborn dolls. A lot of people find them creepy because they are so life like. I find them delightful. I love snuggling babies and real babies are not always on hand. Anyway, it occured to me that I could use these doll making skills to create a baby Krishna to use during Janmashtami. I’m very pleased with how... Read more

Acceptance of Death

Last updated on: January 24, 2018 at 5:19 pm By Ambaa Choate

It is the eighth aniversary of the death of my best friend Ilana Jonsson. Each year I write about her and try to keep her memory alive. I never thought that I would come to a place of peace and acceptance of her being gone. For many years I felt torn in two, unable to really comprehend that she was not coming back. But it seems to be true that time heals. I still miss her, but I am able... Read more
