No need to jump to imaginings of self-flagellation.
It is a <i>fact</i> that the knoweldgeable Hindu people of the older generation of my acquaintance (and by symmetry I include many others) know more of Hinduism and lived it, than the modern types who feel their opinions on the same are as equally grounded.
Before moving on, just for clarification: I only posted #68 and #70 in this thread in reply to a statement of yours, for no other reason.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Why don't you make an attempt to say why you think you are not up to your grandparents' standard?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->Sometime earlier I already stated I was not going to be adding my 'Hindu narrative' and why.
Besides, this is a thread that is called "Hindu Narrative by Sengotuvel" who also wrote that "the ultimate Hindu, who's realised the absolute, can only be an atheist". For myself, I'd therefore feel as comfortable sharing with them personal experiences about Hindu villagers, friends and family, as I would with entrusting these to random people or missionaries or whatnots. Don't get all offended again, this is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree.
