You are obviously in a much better position to comment on Hinduism than I am. I have been rereading very briefly a couple of things since your email, and I am now totally confused which way to jump. :>) I would add that the local Hindu Gurdwara have always been very welcoming and co-operative when I have shot anything with them, and I have felt very at home as a non-believer. It is very difficult to do the project without the co-operation of the various churches, but your encouragement is inspiring so 'Thank You'. We have for lunch today 2 Christian Indians who have recently moved to Delhi from England to help a foundation there make videos and still presentations, so an interesting discussion over lunch is anticipated. I personally have no distinct faith.
