    One must assimilate into Hinduism over time. There is an example of a Hindu king inviting some of the Yavanas (Greeks) to join the Hindu fold through performing certain Vedic rituals. Heliodoros, an ambassador of the Yavanas, was a member of a Vaishnava sect. One enters a Hindu tradition through diksha, initiation by a guru. In my own case, the proper guru has not manifested himself/herself yet. If we think of traditional, polytheistic religion (esp. Indo-European) as existing along a continuum, Hinduism is the one form of this type of religion which has maintained itself against the militant spread of Abrahamic religions. Unfortunately, I can no longer go to Greece and Rome and see the seasonal festivals, temples, and sacrifices.


    In traditional polytheistic religions, *belief* in the gods per se is secondary. It is not the same as in the Abrahamic religions. The gods are an integral part of one's culture. According to the Indian Supreme Court, a Hindu is one who accepts the authority of the Vedas and the Upanishads. Historically, schools of thought were divided into Astika (those who accept Vedic authority) and Nastika (those who reject Vedic authority e.g. Buddhists and others). Some of the schools (Darshanas, "viewpoints") accepted the authority of the Vedas, and yet rejected the idea of a personal god despite the actual text (Samhitas) of the Vedas being filled with references to gods. Why was this so? Because the acceptance of Vedic authority was in many ways a way of affirming one's cultural and spiritual allegiance.

    From a devotional perspective, I am a Shakta. From an intellectual perspective, I am influenced by Advaita Vedanta (non-dualism). Through experience, I am what one of my friends would call a "methodological atheist." In Sanskrit, this is known as Carvaka, or Lokayata ("Worldly" i.e. One who accepts this world as one's only possible frame of reference). This may seem like a contradiction, but such a thing is permitted within the larger framework of 'Hinduism' as it does not function the way that Abrahamic religions do. In Indian (Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain) discourse, there exists a position called "multiplicity of views" (Anekantavada) and it is believed that sensory perceptions may appear vastly different depending on one's state of consciousness.
    Since you're a Shakta, I assume this means you accept the Vedas. What caused you to accept the Vedas? How come you didn't become a Buddhist?

    Do you really believe in all the Hindu gods and goddesses or is it just a religion that you're very sympathetic to and hold in high moral value?
    His decision to become a Hindu was a missed steak

    I accept the Vedas, yes. I accept the Vedas in the same way as any follower of an Astika Darshana accepts the Vedas. It is a requirement. The Upanishads, while they are distinct from the text (Samhitas) of the Vedas proper, are considered a part of the greater Vedic corpus. Think of the Vedic corpus like the U.S. Constitution; the text of the U.S. Constitution per se is small, but in a legal sense, the U.S. Constitution includes the ever-expanding body of case law unto itself. The Upanishads form the philosophical basis of Advaita Vedanta (non-dualism). As an Advaita Vedantin, I accept the existence of a Self (atman) identical with the Absolute (Brahman). Buddhism does not accept the existence of a Self.
