Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure
After nearly two years of traveling India's spiritual supermarket I'm still a self-occupied, selfish, pathetic, pessimistic bitch who's dropped any faith at first sign that things aren't going well.

Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure
The Sikhs have shown me how to be strong, the Vipassana course taught me how to calm my mind, India's Muslims have shown me the meaning of surrender and sacrifice, and the Hindus have illustrated an infinite number of ways to the divine. But right now the Buddhist way of living attracts me the most. It complements my society's psychological approach to individual growth and development, my desire to take control and take responsibility for my own happiness and it advocates a way of living that encourages compassion and care.

Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure
I can look to Hanuman for energy, Varuna {the God of water} if I want rain, Lakshmi {Vishnu's consort, the goddess of wealth} if I need money and Saraswathi {Brahma's consort, the goddess of knowledge} ifI have an exam coming up. Ganesh the elephant god and the child of Shiva and Parvati} can be called on when starting a new journey or venture and Vishnu, Ram or Krishna if I want purity of spirit.

Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure
Mehmooda's faith and fatalism makes me realize how much I still cling to the belief that I have power over my destiny. Perhaps it's time to let that go. Back at the boat on the lake of lotuses I shiver with thoughts of surrender, for it seems such surrender requires sacrifices I could never make. I'm not sure I want that depth of faith and I can't imagine being capable of it.

I realize I don't have to be a Christian who follows the church, or a Buddhist nun in robes, or a convert to Judaism

Holy Cow: An Indian Adventure
Judaism or Islam or Sikhism. I can be a believer in something bigger than what I can touch. I can make a leap of faith to a higher power in a way that's appropriate to my culture but not be imprisoned by it.
