    The Hindu temple was the first temple that are class attended. It was such a different atmosphere then the usual church setting I was accustom too. From every statue to every piece of clothing the Hindu temple was an incredible place to be in. It had a smoky scented smell in the room. The Gods had very colorful elaborate clothing on. The women would bring the clothing to make the gods look better than us humans. The only time the women would change the clothes would be before the festivals. The temple even had a bell in the middle that you would ring when entering so they would know your there. I recognized many different gods that we talked about in class. Lord Rama was to the left with his wife Cita and his brother Lakmasha, and then you had Lord Krishna to the right. The Hindu Priest was telling us that Rama was more about discipline and Lord Krishna taught how to mediate and taught the different principles. I also seen other gods such as Lord Laymi, the god of wealth, they had the nine planetary of astronomy, and I also identified Durga the mother God. One interesting thing I learned was when you wanted to get married, you would go to the Hindu Priest and he would look at the stars to see if you were going to be compatible. Another thing I learned was in the South of India they used black stone for their statue cause it was stronger, and in the north they use white stone.…

    I grew up in a house where both my parents practiced the teachings of Sikhism and Hinduism. My father’s job required us to move every three years to different countries, most of them of Christian majority and because of this I have been exposed to a few religions. However, ever since I first started studying religion I have always found Buddhism more relating to my beliefs more than any other religion has since it is more a philosophy against a religion. I was especially interested in the Theravada branch of Buddhism, or “The Doctrine of Elders”, which is essentially a school of Buddhism that follow the Tipitaka, a collection of religious texts. The Tipitaka is known to be one of the oldest records of Buddha’s teachings.
