I'm an American college student currently. I was born into a Christian family, but we never attended church or prayed. I never thought of myself as a religious person either - I knew I had a relationship with a god, but never chose to explore it further.
I recently visited a Hindu temple and was explained some very basic principles of Hinduism. The temple I went to was beautiful and I felt a connection unlike any other while I was there.
Since my visit I have dove further into researching Hinduism. I have started reading an english translation of The Bhagavad-Gita and I continue my research on the Supreme Being and adherence to Truth, dharma, and karma.
What I want to know is what else should I be doing to immerse myself into this lifestyle? I want to begin praying and working on my relationships with the Gods, but I simply do not know where to begin!

Hello all - Namaste,

Thank you all so much!
