Namaste all, I'm new to these forums (duh), and I figured this was a good place to post an introduction thread. I'm a Westerner who wants to embrace Hinduism, and I've tried to do so in a few ways, such as going to the local Hindu temple in my area, and meditation and mantra chanting at home. But I'm not sure where to go from here... Does anyone have advice for a Westerner starting out on the path like I am? What should I do next?
