Working towrds my Spirituality Part1

Hey everyone, I imagine I'm writing to myself now. I hope one day this can become a place where we can get together and talk about how were doing it.

So growing up I was raised Christian and although that's how I was raised I always had a thing for Hindu I guess you would call religions.

I liked Buddha cause he was fat and seemed happy and I didn't think he was surrounded by much falsehood. I believe I always had a connection with God and It confused me very young why God says "thou shall have no other God before me" and for a while I just thought that these 2 religions don't seem to go together since Hinduism has so many Gods like Shiva, Rama, Vishnu, Lakshmi and others.

So really I still don't know the answer to that question. We are all one. But where only aloud one God. In Hindu they have many Gods and you call on them for different needs.

The thing I do know is a connection with something that is greater than you I believe is good. I think I have a more of a connection with God aka Jesus Christ then any Hindu God.

I have experimented with them though. I can tell you in meditation I have chanted om namah shivaya in meditation a lot, but not so much recently.

I think that works for calming you down. But I didn't see anything amazing happen in my life

Can Hindu and Christianity work together? Why the separation to begin with. I have heard that Vishnu is the Jesus Christ of the Hindu religion. Maybe he was both, and it happened at the same time.

I'm not saying that I'm torn between selecting one. I consider myself to be a spiritual person. One who chooses his own path that is not effected by karma that you may of got prior to this lifetime which the Hindus are so big on. I believe we all decided and that there are laws to this universe and we attract everything by our powerful mind.

Some things to think about. What religion do you consider yourself? Do you walk a certain path. Be open minded. Do you think everything happens for a reason?
