Dear Admin,
Like Poonam, I’m a Hindu girl and my boy friend is a Mallyalam Protestant Christian. We’ve been dating for one and a half years now. We are madly in love and we get along really well.
His parents are conservative and they like this girl for him and they want him to get married to her. Even the girls parents are happy with it. There are still 4-5 years until he gets married but they are pressurising him from right now. He tried telling his mother about getting married to a Hindu girl and she’s dead against it without even meeting me.
I believe in God but not in religion. So I don’t mind being baptised if I have to. I really don’t know what to do. Should we fight for it (knowing his parents are dead against it) or let it fade away (which is extremely difficult). Please help. -Megha

Brahmin girl (15 y) in love with a Muslim (27 y)
a0You are right, one should learn to be bniefet to others instead of giving trouble to others. We know that after many years of economic development and people will have build up their material life then they will pursuit spirital life. So don\’t worry things will be better and bnetter.
Dear Admin,
When I say I don’t believe in religion I don’t mean it in that sense. I have been brought up in a convent school and I have had friends of all casts. I mean that I’m open to all religions and respect them all. My prays have never been bound in the walls of a temple! That’s why I don’t mind being baptised. Don’t mean to deceive anyone in anyway.
I agree to what u said about compatibility. That’s one of the reasons I feel we should stay strong… We get along really well and understand each to a great extent. We’ve always encouraged each other to do better in our respective fields. And its difficult to find a person who your so compatible with. But hes very indecisive about everything in general. That’s why I’m not being able to decide of what I should do!
Megha,
First, we are not hear to criticize you but to make you think, that’s all.
You made two very contradictory statements: 1) “I’m open to all religions and respect them all. My prays have never been bound in the walls of a temple!” and 2) “That’s why I don’t mind being baptized.”
Your statement #1 shows that you are a pluralist while #2 is an absolutely an exclusivist label to announce that now you are only Christian (cannot be any more worshippers of Krishna and Goddess Laxmi). Baptism is a commitment to repudiate your former (Hindu) practices and live with Jesus (only) for ever. Remember, only Jesus saves not Krishna, Buddha, Mahavir, not Koran-believers and definitely not atheists.
Now read the Bible that your convent school managed not to teach you all these years. Also read on who are idol worshippers. Get back to us after reading these. We would love to discuss with you.
Megha,
You appears to be a smart and educated girl. So limit your emotions and make rational decisions in life. Check with any married person, including your parents, for how much their daily life run by their dating time love. This love thing is a short living, so having good compatibility in many respects is most important.
Can you explain us what do you mean by “I believe in God but not in religion”? If you don’t believe in religion, why you wish to be baptized? Do you mean you will take a FAKE-baptism, just to fool their church and his parents? Are you ready to make lies and deception a foundation of your married life?
Why not respect Jesus and keep the church out? Can you read this article and Bible and let us know what do you think of it?
