You Are How People Know Your God

Last updated on: August 28, 2017 at 3:54 pm By Ambaa Choate

I was recently reading about some hateful comments Derek Dillard, of the despicable* Duggar clan, said about a 16 year old girl and it got me thinking about how our words and actions tell people who our Gods are. This is not a new idea, of course. Many people even within evangelical-style religions advocate for inspiring others to convert by how you live your own life. Showing the joy and beauty of your relationship with God should be all that... Read more

Can’t Afford Murti? 3D Print Them!

Last updated on: August 10, 2017 at 11:15 am By Ambaa Choate

If you can’t afford murti for your Hindu altar, it is completely fine to use pictures of Gods, Goddesses, and Gurus. You can even print them out yourself. But recently I came across another potential option: 3d print them! You may be thinking: If I can’t afford a murti how am I going to afford to 3d print? It turns out you can often get free or cheap access to 3d printers. For example, my library system allows access to their... Read more

Visiting a Mosque

Last updated on: July 27, 2017 at 12:18 pm By Ambaa Choate

I often end up throwing myself into situations outside of my comfort zone because the growth of my soul is so important to me. Also I’m impulsive so I decide I’m going to do a thing and then I wonder why I ever signed myself up for such a thing! Visiting a mosque might be the boldest thing I’ve done yet. I told some of my friends that I would like to find more Muslim friends, people I can know... Read more

Trigger Warning: This Post Is About Trigger Warnings

Last updated on: July 14, 2017 at 7:45 am By Ambaa Choate

It seems like there is a lot of misunderstanding around the concept of trigger warnings. The idea behind trigger warnings is that before a piece of writing or a video or show or movie, etc. you would let people know if the content includes difficult subject matter that may be a trigger for someone who has experienced related trauma. The criticism of it that I hear most is that it coddles people and the general moaning about our society getting... Read more

Hindu Mystery Bag!

Last updated on: July 13, 2017 at 12:33 pm By Ambaa Choate

When my parents were visiting we brought them to see the new age shop in town. It’s called The Crystal Fox and it’s Brad’s favorite shop to go to (of course!). Not only does it have all the crystals and incense and pendulums but it also has some board games and role playing supplies. So pretty much everything Brad loves. My parents have visited us so many times but we have actually never taken them to the local town center... Read more

The Real Difference Between Rachel Dolezal and Caitlyn Jenner

Last updated on: November 16, 2017 at 9:58 am By Ambaa Choate

You all know that I’m fascinated by the case of Rachel Dolezal, a woman claiming to be “trans race” in the sense of born the wrong race and not in the sense of having adoptive parents of a different race. She claims that she was born white when she should have been born Black. And she went to lengths to present herself as Black. Of course believing in reincarnation, as I do, it’s possible that Rachel Dolezal was Black in... Read more

Riding the Wave

Last updated on: July 13, 2017 at 12:34 pm By Ambaa Choate

[I will be doing more Hindu Worship posts soon. I’m working on tweaking the format!] One of the benefits of being in my 30s is coming to a pretty good knowledge of myself and an acceptance of my quirks. I have a thing where I get extremely intense and obsessive about something and then it kind of burns out and another thing becomes all I’m interested in. And these go in cycles. So, like, I’ll be super into knitting and... Read more

Hindu Worship Tuesday July 4th, 2017
