Webimpulse 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2013 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? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joseph Alexander Hansen 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2013 One option is to read... I have read "Introduction to the study of Hindu Doctrines" by René Guénon, and that helped me get a good kick start. I've also read a number of works by Alan Watts who specializes in eastern philosophy and is amazing at connecting everything for a western reader.

What should I do next? welcome to hindu vedic dharma. you are on the right path. before you go for meditation or bkakti devotion you should read some hindu scriptures like bhagavad gita.Before starting anything you should gain philosophical knowledge then only you will be fix in your devotion or mediation. so i suggest you read hindu holy scripture " bhagavad gita " told by lord krishna to arjuna I hope u will surely succed in hindu vedic dharma.
