You are very welcome. That you are not Christian puts you somewhat closer to being open to learning about Hindūism and whether you are prepared to go around the bend into Indic thought, Indic identity, and so on. Message me, and we can chat ... Read More

I think this is a mistake. Just my opinion as a learned Hindū originally from the West. I think this is a mistake for him to marry a Western, a non-Hindū at that. He's probably aping the White Man, trying to bag a White Wife to ... Read More
Yoga Class near Mahindra World City by Kirsty Miller
Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I would like to find a yoga class to attend near MWC. Does anyone know of any good schools and instructors? Thanks so much!
Let me ask... Are you Hindūs? It makes a difference... If you are, then it becomes paramount that you avoid the schools that have a largely western audience because so much of yoga in these environments have been digested into ... Read More

Hi everyone, Looking for a job in India is not something you can take lightly, especially now. If you found a new job in India during the pandemic or if you are currently searching for one, we would like to know how it went. How did you go ...
This sounds exactly like an accursed western job market conversation from 90s and 2000s America. Don't go down that path. The end that arrived for America may arrive for you here in Bhārat in about 15-20 years. It's a mistake. A ... Read More

I don't know about Hyderabad, but for instance, going to America would be a disaster with a civil war in the making and 10-15% inflation (why do you think the $-Rs exchange rate hasn't changed??) rent/mortgage forbearance has come to an end ... Read More

I feel safer here in India than I would in America. I am in Gujarāt state, with daily caseloads in the double digits. Some south Indian states still have daily cases in the thousands. https://www.covid19india.org Read More

Dhanyavādaḥ for the information. I'm passing that on to my contact, who is going to Hṛṣīkeśa this week to check on some houses for me to rent. Read More
Moving to India just before the crisis by Diksha
Hi everybody, Taking the plunge and daring to move abroad is a real challenge, but when your move to India is marked by an unprecedented health, social and economic crisis, as we have been experiencing for just over a year, this change can be ...
I had to leave America for a lot of reasons, including the cost of living, difficulty in finding work for someone with my mental profile, and especially as a deaf Hindū finding herself even more of an outsider than she already was as a ... Read More

Veedushi, you wrote this post about a month and a half ago, and no one else has replied. It feels like the ex-pat community has collapsed. I hear there are a bunch of Australians around Dill?, though. Read More
Hello! [Info on Covid vaccines for foreigners staying in India] by Leek Sin
Hello everyone, As the title states, I have been looking everywhere to find out if foreigners can get vaccinated against Covid here in India. With the critical nature of the pandemic in India, I am looking to get vaccinated here as I cannot return ...
The problem is, particularly for Americans is that Covaxin is available here, but FDA in America will not approve it for usage by the Indians who have had it here and then went over there. There have been NO SUBSTANTIAL studies done to determine ... Read More

This is a very good question. You must have some attraction to India to even consider working and living here. If you are here because you are "on assignment" for the American or European plantation, and you are not open to the ... Read More

I feel like we've been taken for a ride by the Rockefellers and the Chinese operating in collaboration to create a crisis and take advantage of the situation. Don't forget that "Dr." Fauci had farmed out this bio-weapon research ... Read More
