Discussion with Brahmin priest today

Recommended Posts

Me: How do I learn all those pujas?

 

Brahmin priest: Are you interested?

 

Me: Yes. Do you have to be a Brahmin?

 

BP: To do pujas for others you have to be a Brahmin. To do pujas for oneself you can do, but you have to go to school.

 

Me: Ok, where do I go to school?

 

BP: India

 

Me: What about all those Indian kids born here outside India

 

BP: We have a sunday school, where you can learn some simplistic bullshit. (paraphrase)

He's full of shit. There is a western white woman convert to Hinduism who is studying to become a pujari (priest). His comments and thinking are the kind superstitious silliness in religion that make me crazy; it's religious elitism. And personal pujas are done daily by hundreds of millions of people.

That's not possible. Where is she learning?

Yeah these pujas are way too complex. Even the "simple" ones.

 

No wonder the Brahmin priest was like, what the fuck are you talking about?
