How to Become a Hindu

Dedication

"How to Become a Hindu" is dedicated to all the great Hindu swamis who for

decades have taught the ancient and timeless truths of the Sanatana Dharma in

the West to all who would listen and thus effectively brought thousands of

devout souls into the Hindu religion. In the words of Swami Vivekananda, one of

the foremost progenitors of Hinduism in the Western world, "Why, born aliens

have been converted in the past by the thousands, and the process is still

going on."
