Approaching a Hindu Temple Deity: A Primer for Beginners
A lot of meditators to Hindu temples are not coming from traditional Hindu, or Eastern, backgrounds. Many practitioners today are coming from the yoga culture that has permeated the world. These wonderful souls seeking to find the depths of yoga practice, and its origins, make their way into the holy temples of the Hindu faith seeking to stretch their new flexible wings. With a few pointers, anyone can feel right at home at any mandir, temple, math, mut, ashram or monastery/temple complex!

Last weekend I helped non-Hindus participating in a Hindu ceremony, so I appreciate all these instructions and guidelines. Very helpful.

What a wonderful guide! We have many non-Hindus who come to our Ghanapathy temple in Wimbledon every year, as well as over 3,000 children from schools in London. This guide will be invaluable to help them get the most out of their visits, together with your leaflet on visiting a Hindu temple! Thank you for all your dedicated work in furthering the understanding of Hinduism.
