Also in my experience, the organisation part doesn't really apply to Hinduism since it is by default a decentralised religion. Just get involved in the spiritual and metaphysical aspects of Hinduism and you'll find your way.

If you're new to Hinduism, always start with Bhagwad Geeta. Always. If you're somewhat experienced however,you can read other authors but remember to judge them on the basis of Dharma

Be careful with Advaita so-called Vedanta. It is an impostor Buddhist sect masquerading as Vedanta.

>> No.17998904

>>17997525
Read the Upanishads, Gita, Vedas, ect.

Try practicing and getting good at meditation on your own. Indian society is riddled with different problems than western societies are, don't be so inclined to think the grass is greener on the other side.

If you're looking for genuine truth compared to simply a social fabric to belong to, I can wholeheartedly recommend Krishnamurti's videos.

Be prepared to pay out your ass. His organization charges quite a hefty sum.

yes. until you do the IE program, just watch vids and do the isha kriya you can learn on youtube.

i rate sadhguru and isha, I have compelted all theri rpograms included the 8 days silence meditation and it has worked immensely for me.

True. We're trying to work on those. But Dharma is increasingly unpopular among common people who prefer hedonism.
