GROUP DISCUSSION ON COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HINDUISM

We are over whelmed with the response we received from the first group discussion on Hinduism topics and are strongly considering the request from all the devotees to have this event as frequently as possible. As we have a important general body meeting this week, we are hosting this group discussion event next Sunday, the Feb 1st 2009 at 11.30 AM. We at Sanatan Dharma Temple & Cultural Center are starting these discussion topics to all those who are intrested in learning more about our culture and its real value. As this would not be a discourse kind of a program, but it's more like learning from one another through discussions, research and knowledge sharing. The format we are using here is, we'll decide on the questions we'll be discussing for this month and encourage people to voice in their thoughts and knowledge. Language is no barrier for these discussions groups, everyone will be given a chance to speak or ask. The topics we'll be discussing for this month on Sunday, Feb 1st @ 11.30 AM are 1) Why does Hinduism have so many Gods? 2) Do hindus believe in Re-incarnation? 3) What is Karma? 4) Why do hindus worship the cow? 5) Are hindus idol worshippers? 6) Are Hindus forbidden to eat meat? 7) Do hindus have a bible? 8) Why do hindus wear a dot near the middle of their forehead? 9) Are the gods of hinduism really married? 10)What about caste and untouchability?> Please pass this to all the people who will be interested to participate and know more about these topics or would like to share their esteemed knowledge with the rest of the group. Please encourage your teenagers to participate in these discussions as we feel that they would be extremely benefited from these discussions.
