Originally posted by wolfgang59I think we can both admit that Hinduism appears to be huge subject. In the time I have been doing a bit of backround reading I have ascertained that there are numerous schools and interpretations of Hinduism.
No.
My knowledge of Hinduism is sufficient for the requirements of teaching

Three is the magic number you know!

Failure was on your part to furnish examples of a trinity in paganism.

Robbie, I admire your sophisticated writing vocabulary. You have an impressive delivery.
