"THE UNUSUAL STORY OF DAVID FRAWLEY"

5/23/2019

 
That's the headline which recently appeared in India's Deccan Herald newspaper.  Dr. Frawley is a leading Vedic scholar and the author of many highly influential writings about Hinduism, Meditation, Ayurveda and Astrology. Dr. Frawley is director of the American Institute of Vedic Studies.  In 2015, he was recognized for his contribution to Vedic studies by India's Prime Minister Nodi who awarded him with Padma Bhushan, the third highest civilian award given in India.   Here are excerpts from the interview:

On conversions into Hinduism


People take to Hinduism in an informal way. Many are even leaving Christianity. In the West, in many countries, less than half the people call themselves Christians and the majority don’t even go to church. West, in many countries, less than half the people call themselves Christians and the majority don’t even go to church. Even in the surveys in America, the largest growing group among the youth are the people who aren’t affiliated to any religion. The many people who claim to be spiritual and not religious are practising yoga, meditation, mantra and teachings out of the Dharmic tradition.

But the Hindu tradition doesn’t have the same type of formal conversion idea as the Christian tradition does. Because in the Hindu tradition, it is a tradition that we are all one, so there is no idea of conversion, but an idea of karma, rebirth self-realisation for everybody. In all the Dharmic traditions, there’s a recognition of all human beings.
