Hi hema. I’m a Christian, my wife is Hindu. I understand the differences between all religions, and from my point of view, religion causes more strife and seperates the already unified parties. What you should look at are not the differences, but the similarities, and each religion has its own, “rituals” so to say. I say drop the ceremonies, you don’t need them.
My wife and I both believe that God brought us together. I also believe that there is truly only one God, spread across the world in every nation, diluted in books by human hands. What we do know to be true, is that God is real, and he does things in miraculous and awe-inspiring ways. Look to Him for guidance. Both of you should not just speak with others in the same situation, but to religious parties of both sides, and allow God to show you where to begin. Remember, God is spiritual, so you must look with your spirit, and listen with your heart. And together agree on one thing. I believe we are all on a spiritual walk with God, and Jesus in my religion. That he will guide us and show us the way to spiritual freedom and growth away from religion and into a more stable spiritual way of life. Jesus gave but 2 commandments. Love one another the most important. We are humans, not races, we are spiritual, not religious, we are all one, and must act as one whole, and truly love each other completely, free of such information that only confuses and creates problems between individuals, so that we may one day all have one thing in common. Love for one another, and for all others around us. Hope this helps. Peace and love! -Randy

It is great that you have such respect for each other and believe in the free spirit. But how did you get married? In the case where we have to also consider our parents happiness, how do you combine rituals? Esp if the catholic side is insisting on a conversion by the Hindu partner and wedding in the Church.
Hi Randy,
This is beautiful message. We hope every one will learn from you being a pluralist and to love and respect all. This will solve most world’s religious problems. Ask your wife to add to your views, we love to hear her too!
