This is for folks who want to understand Indian/Hindu stuff.

This is not all-encompassing as I’m straddling on how deep of material this should be so any feedback or possible additions can be sent to [email protected]. Cheers!

Primers

This is to get started. We’re talking about the basic fundamentals that are just the tip of the iceberg. This is for those who aren’t really sure where to start. Like “I grew up brown, I went to the temple/mandir and Hindu events, but I’m not really sure where my spiritual beliefs are. I think I just want to learn a bit more.”

📚

Shrimad Bhagavad Gita - One of the holy books of **Sanātana Dharma, or Hinduism as it’s called in the West. The distilled essence of the Vedas and Upanishads, a dialogue of 700 verses between Krishna or God/Isvara, and Arjuna, who represents the spiritual seeker. A convo set in the backdrop of a war between two families.**

• Every Gita translator inherently puts their own bias into translations. Because of this, you need to be intentional or at least aware enough of what type of perspective you’re reading from. Try to be aware of the translator’s background, like if they know how to read and write Sanskrit. Because that directly relates to how they view the text.
