Admin,
I came across this forum and I am already a fan. This problem of interfaith romances seems to be all around. I bet when religions were created no one was thinking they would end up being the divide in love rather than being the path to love.
I am in a very similar situation to what you must have heard a million times.
I am a hindu guy living in the beautiful land down under, who fell in love with an Australian girl born into a strict Muslim Arabic family. She isn’t a practicing muslim but her parents have put immense pressure on our relationship, and my family being in India also feels it will be a challenge to face the society with the fact that their son went for a girl from another faith, particularly Muslim faith in this case.
Makes me wonder… given my current credentials, if I was muslim I would have a long line of muslim girls wanting to marry me. Given that I am hindu, I already know my parents keep getting offers for an arranged marriage from many families looking for guys for their girls. Just change one variable in this equation, and make the union between me and someone from another faith and it becomes a tragedy.
I didn’t post my situation here seeking help as I know that God, the one God up there somewhere, has some plans for me and one day those will come true. Till then, I shall wait, and I shall follow this blog and listen about others and hopefully be able to help others in similar situation.
I am a very strong believer of Karma and all I can say to anyone out there who is struggling in similar situation is… ‘Continue loving, continue on the path of Good Karma and your Moksha will come in the form of true love, sooner or later’ -Sushant

Shushant,
Yes, we will take your offer, “hopefully be able to help others in similar situation”. Please join our “interfaith family” to teach and learn (and vent your frustrations for today’s society and religious institutions).
You have stated, “Just change one variable in this equation…..”, but you have to realize that this is a “critical” variable. Religions have killed millions of people and will continue to do so. With pluralistic teachings, we could, some how, reduce the damage.
