You've misinterpreted my reason for being here. I am not using this forum as research. The book will be a collection of testimonies from people of various faiths explaining why they believe, and how their beliefs have shaped their lives. This book allows everyone to voice their own opinions, so it's not me attempting to write about something that I know very little. I am asking people, through online forums, if they would like to provide stories representing themselves, and their faith. This isn't necessarily to explain hinduism, but to explain why one is a hindu in the first place, and their personal feelings about it. Mark
